The name is derived from the name of Sir Robert Peel who established the force in 1829. The Face Pot quote "Ello, ello, ello? Whats going on here then" is a stereotypical catchphrase used by British police officers, particularly in the London Metropolitan Police. The phrase is often used in British popular culture, including on television shows and in movies and other forms of media. The origin of the phrase is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated in the early 20th century when the London Metropolitan Police began using it as a way to announce their presence and assert authority. The phrase has since become a staple of British popular culture and is often used in comedic portrayals of police officers. Face Pot is from a large Kevin Francis collection. Hand written notation on sticker on box reading "BRITISH BOBBY". Excellent condition. No chips, cracks or crazing observed. Displays very well, as depicted. Fitting snugly into the palm of your hand, Face Pots were introduced in 2000 by Kevin Pearson and the art pottery team of Kevin Francis. Drawing on 18th Century Netsuke design combined with the best of art pottery and the English toby jug tradition, they became an immediate success and introduced a whole new genre of pottery commemoratives. Designed by top ceramic sculptors, each Face Pot is handmade and hand-painted in Stoke-on-Trent, England and made to the same high standard as traditional Kevin Francis releases. Each Pot contains a quote from (or associated with) the character portrayed. A studio pottery approach resulted in limited production numbers of each Pot.
