[QUOTE="_Kale_, post: 9414112, member: 80716"]I'm having a really hard time with this Staffordshire Neptune figure so if there is anyone out there that could throw some light on the subject it would be much appreciated. It looks very much like an early 19C Staffordshire Neptune, has a blue tinge to the glaze, fairly crudely painted, is variously crazed over its surface. But it just feels like its in too good condition to me, some of the paint feels like its over the glaze (as it should be) but most of the figure's body feels likes the glaze is over the paint. The trident is metal and slides out of the hands (I would assume that would be a replacement, even if the figure was genuine). What do you think? Edit: None of my pictures seem to be uploading properly so I think we are going to struggle here. Maybe next time. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/zm1J5pr/1.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
