The seated figure was modelled on a local resident, Mrs Kate Pollard, a popular and active member of the community who had once been an employee of Pearsons Pottery, which had formerly stood on this site. ‘Kate’ sits examining a broken jug, with its missing handle lying in her lap. She is dressed for work, wearing a dress and overall, with her sleeves rolled up and hair tied back. The original sculpture was a two-person seat with 'Kate' sitting at one end and space at the other. This was to encourage passers-by to join her and identify with her contemplative pose. The seat now is just big enough for 'Kate' and two jugs – one either side of her.
