These eight Carlton Ware Walking Ware pieces were made in England to a Lustre Pottery design. Cream-glazed bodies stand on whimsical legs dressed in striped or patterned socks and colorful shoes. The group includes a teapot, lidded creamer, three cups (including an Elizabeth II commemorative mug), and three egg cups. Two Metropolitan Museum of Art reproduction bowls offer a very different treatment of the human-footed vessel. Their reddish-brown and dark-brown bodies tilt forward on modeled bare feet, following the museum's Egyptian "Bowl with Human Feet", dated circa 3700-3450 BCE. The original form resembles the Egyptian hieroglyph for "to bring", giving the forward tilt the character of a vessel presenting its contents. These are modern reproductions of that ancient design. The creamer lid has a repaired break with a small loss along the rim. The dark-brown museum bowl has minor material loss beneath one foot. The teapot measures approximately 4.75" x 7.25" x 6.75" tall.
