This group, consisting of a female figure accompanied by a child and a green dolphin, displays overglaze enamel colors. Such colors were produced by applying enamel colors mixed with a substance which caused them to adhere to a glazed surface during a second firing. Although probably not the work of Ralph Wood, this piece was undoubtedly after one of his figures.
