Hi

Can you tell me how many figurines were in the commission Peter Holland undertook for Coalport in the 90s please.

I am the very proud owner of Marsha, she is just exquisite. I would love to acquire any other stunning ladies that Peter has created. Photos, names and any information as to where I might source them would be much appreciated.

Many thanks and hope you can be of assistance.

Ann

Hi Ann

Peter Holland here. I am not good on keeping records of my past ranges. My excuse is I am a 'creative' not a very admin person. That's a great excuse. Phew, hope you forgive me!

edit:- Kindly, Judi has come to my rescue! Scroll down to comments section link

In any case, it's always the best option to contact the company which marketed and distributed the collection - in this case Coalport, who are part of the Wedgwood Group (recently restructured under a new buy-out, so I'm not sure who's left to answer your query).

However, I can give you some background. There were a few different pieces already in the collection. Most were sculpted by Jack Glynn who started the series, and (I think) three by me who came in at a later date. I remember there being your one, a standing one, and also a double piece with two standing ladies.

There was one lady on a sofa called Penny sculpted by Nicholas Poccock (his only one - they didn't like his faces as much as mine and JG)

Here's some of the names I have cobbled together - but this may be incomplete:-

Eve 1997 Jack Glynn

Kitty 1997 Jack Glynn

Blanche 1997 Jack Glynn

Millie 1997 Jack Glynn

Delia 1997 Jack Glynn

Penny (on Sofa) by NICHOLAS POCOCK

Marsha 1997 Peter Holland

Double Piece Peter Holland

Sadie 1997 ?

Phoebe 1997 ?


If any collectors have more knowledge and can fill in the gaps, please post in the comments section.

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks
