This larger sized Staffordshire pottery model of an English country estate folly type of cottage is of a most unusual design. The centre is circular and has three storeys with a rectangular wing to each side. The extended roof forms a canopy across the sides which are supported by twisted columns. The cottage has gothic style windows and three of these have been pierced through to let light shine through most realistically from a candle which can be placed into a small opening in the back making this novel cottage glow at night. Minor glazing cracks and paint loss.English, circa 1860Height 20cm x width 20cm x depth 9.5cmRobert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects.
