    Ceramic portrait figurines of popular individuals were produced in large quantities throughout the second half of the 19th century, mainly in the potteries of Staffordshire. This example, by an unknown artist, depicts Henry Temple, third Viscount Palmerston, who served as British Prime Minister from 1855 to 1858, and again from 1859 to 1865.
