FAQs

Staffordshire pottery figures were mass-produced in the towns of North Staffordshire, England, during the 19th century. They were designed primarily as affordable mantelpiece ornaments for the middle-class Victorian home, depicting animals, people, and historical events.

These pieces were typically crafted from earthenware or pottery, slip-cast or hand-pressed into moulds, and then hand-painted with underglaze colours and enamels before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces usually feature fine overall crazing in the glaze, hollow construction with a small ventilation hole underneath, hand-painted details with minor imperfections, and typical weight and wear consistent with earthenware from the mid-19th century.

These ceramic figures work well when displayed in pairs on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables, adding a touch of traditional character and colour contrast to contemporary or eclectic room schemes.

Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent enamel fading, dust them gently with a dry, soft brush, and avoid using chemical cleaning agents or immersing them in water, especially if they have old repairs or hairline cracks.
