John Wesley Pulpit and Clock Statuette
1800-1850 / Ceramic / Ornament / Sculpture / Wesleyana
Ceramic
Staffordshire, early to mid 1800s
Another John Wesley pulpit and clock statuette made in the Staffordshire potteries in the 19th century. It is very similar to the gothic-style pulpit statuette featuring in the Online Collection and depicts a clock, probably to emphasise the passing of time and as a reminder to lead a worthy life. Like most pieces of 'Wesleyana', they were decorative items which had a strong moral message.
