Lot Description:

Wedgwood - a porcelain figure of a kangaroo designed by John Rattenbury Skeaping, circa 1928
22.5 cm
impressed to base: J Skeaping, Wedgwood
Notes:

Wedgwood's kangaroo figure was modelled in 1927 by John Rattenbury Skeaping, a student of the sculptor Richard Garbe and a noted artist himself. Wedgwood commissioned Skeaping to design a series of fourteen models of different animals in an attempt to attract greater interest in the very depleted markets (in the late 1920s Wedgwood suffered direct effects of the Wall Street crash). Only ten figures, including this kangaroo, were eventually put into production.
