Churchill Caricature Woodcarvings
These four caricatures of Churchill are handmade woodcarvings by A. Scott and are very limited in their availability on a request basis from Ron Smith at his shop, "Personalities and Events," London. The four pieces range in height from 5 to 12 inches and are entitled “Our Finest Hour,” “VE-Day,” “First Lord of the Admiralty,” and “Bulldog Prime Minister.”
Abbydale Chalice
and
Spode Urn
Two of the finest bone china pieces in any Churchilliana collection are the Abbeydale Chalice (near right) issued in 1964 by Thomas Goode and Company to commemorate the 90th birthday of Winston Churchill (limited edition 250), and the Spode Urn specially commissioned in 1965 by Thomas Goode and Company at the time of Churchill's death and in grateful remembrance (limited edition 125).
Michael Sutty Ltd.
Michael Sutty Ltd. produces exquisite bone china figurines in the UK. His Churchill in the Uniform of the 4th Hussars, c.1895 (14 inches high, issued 1988, limited edition 250), and bust of Churchill in the Uniform of the Warden of the Cinque Ports, c.1947 (8 inches high, issued 1996, limited edition 250) are among the finest contributions to the collection of Churchilliana. Unfortunately, Michael Sutty Ltd. is no longer in production, and the issue numbers of these two Churchill pieces remain unfulfilled; therefore, the two pieces are extremely scarce.
Spirit of Britain
Kevin Francis Productions
Based in the UK, Kevin Francis is a highly regarded creator of character jugs and figurines, of which no fewer than 12 depict Churchill. The Spirit of Britain was produced in 1989 in a limited edition of 5,000 with Churchill’s coat colored in black, white or blue. A pair of this character jug makes excellent bookends.
