FAQs

Staffordshire pottery figures originated in the Staffordshire region of England during the 18th and 19th centuries, evolving from utilitarian wares to popular decorative mantel ornaments depicting animals, people, and historical events.

These pieces were typically slip-cast or hand-modelled from earthenware clay, then hand-painted with underglaze or overglaze colours and finished with a clear lead glaze before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic craquelure in the glaze, hand-painted details with slight variations, hollow interiors with small vent holes, and the weight and patina associated with historic earthenware.

Displaying these figures on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table introduces historical texture, artisanal character, and a conversational focal point that bridges traditional and modern design aesthetics.

Dust these items gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid submerging them in water or using chemical cleaning agents, particularly if the piece features delicate overglaze enamel painting or surface crazing.
