The M76 Female Nude - Bobbed Hair on Pedestal figure was designed by R. Bower. The figure stands 8 inches (20.3cm) tall. The piece shown was decorated by Stanley Conway. Note that 1927 on the plinth was the date M76 was modelled for R. Bower and it is believed this piece was decorated in 1934 - possibly to Stanley Conway's choice of colourway - as the plinth is actually the brown that can be seen in the images and not black as described in the Ashtead Potters book. If anyone can supply images of the standard colourway we can catalogue those too.
