A wonderfully characterful Beswick Jeremy Fisher figurine, bringing one of Beatrix Potter’s best loved characters to life with the gentle charm and craftsmanship of early English ceramics.
Modelled by Arthur Gredington and first issued in 1950, Mr. Jeremy Fisher became one of the most recognisable figures in Beswick’s celebrated Beatrix Potter collection. This example is particularly appealing as the First Version, First Variation, distinguished by the small brown spotting to his head and legs.
Wearing his distinctive lilac coat, Jeremy Fisher has the expressive character and carefully painted detail that make these early Beswick figures so enjoyable to collect. The glazed porcelain and hand painted decoration reflect the quality of craftsmanship for which Beswick became so highly regarded.
The desirable BP-2a Gold Oval backstamp dates this example to the early production period between 1955 and 1974, adding to its appeal for collectors of Beswick and Beatrix Potter ceramics. Inspired by The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, the figure captures the gentle humour and personality of Beatrix Potter’s original illustrations.
Jeremy Fisher would make a lovely addition to a Beatrix Potter or Beswick collection, or sit beautifully amongst vintage books and collected pieces on a bookshelf or cabinet. A particularly appealing early example of one of Beatrix Potter’s most recognisable characters.
A charming piece of British ceramic history celebrating Beatrix Potter, Beswick craftsmanship and a much loved storybook character.
