    Does anyone know the maker of this 5” tall porcelain bust of General William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army? My searches haven’t turned up a match for it. I can’t find any pottery marks on this figure but am guessing it was a Staffordshire maker?

    No one will accuse the maker of making their logo hard to find ! :)

    You see a maker’s mark? I don’t, but maybe I’m missing something obvious!

    It’s typical of crested ware. Goss did these as did some other makers, my brain isn’t working. However, many were made in Germany.

    Okay, thank you. At about 5” tall I thought this figure was a bit large for crested ware but I guess this stuff came in a range of sizes.

    The body, glaze and printing is typical. There’s some big ones out there, the cenotaph for example.
