In the Lewis sale of Washington relics, held in Philadelphia, in December, 1890, there was sold an “oval porcelain plaque with a bust of Benjamin Franklin in a wreath of china roses and lilies, 8½ inches by 7½ inches.” This I believe to have been the one which tradition in the Hodge family says came over to Washington. Some of the Bristol flower-plaques had a crown above the medallion; one in Mr. Edkin’s Collection is illustrated in Owen’s “Two Centuries of Ceramic Art in Bristol.” The Franklin plaque sold in Philadelphia for ninety dollars—a price to make an English collector groan with envy—while the one in Mr. Edkin’s Collection (from which is taken the engraving in Mr. Owen’s book) sold in England in 1874 for £150. Dr. Hodge had an insurance of one thousand dollars offered to him on his Franklin plaque when it was in New York. 45. Franklin. Medallion. Neale & Co. The head of Dr. Franklin in pottery, by Neale & Co., Hanley. It is an oval medallion. Franklin. Relief Portrait. Dresden. See No. 29. 46. Franklin. Statuette. Wood. This pottery statue is fifteen inches in height, and is neither very impressive nor well modelled. One in the Huntington Collection is colored, Poor Richard being gayly attired in gray coat, yellow waistcoat, and pink breeches. He carries his hat under his left arm, and a scroll in his left hand. Another in the same collection is precisely like it, save that the head only is colored. It is labelled, in gold letters, “General Washington.” This mistake easily arose, for the statuette of Washington, described in No. 24, is exactly like this Franklin statuette except the head, which in the latter has flowing natural hair. A number of these Franklin statuettes bear the name of Washington, and it does not matter much, for they do not closely resemble either of the great Americans. This statuette is attributed to Ralph Wood or Enoch Wood, of Burslem. There are three of these figures in the Trumbull-Prime Collection, dressed in vari-colored garments, one being much smaller, about thirteen inches in height. But for the right arm being more extended, it would appear that the original mould had become worn and a new one cast, which in shrinking made this reduction in the size of this figure. One of these statuettes of Franklin in the S. L. M. Barlow Collection was sold in 1890 for forty-two dollars. 47. Franklin. Statuette.
