Two Small Early Staffordshire Figures

18th century
Description

Two interesting and unusual early Staffordshire figures. One figure is a small example of a square based type which shows a reclining woman possibly representing flowers or spring. The second figure shows a gardener standing with a spade, unusually for this type it is treacle glazed. The two figures are both in good condition with just a couple of chips to the underside of the base of the female figure. Two lovely examples of early Staffordshire figures that have a great period decorative appeal. C.1800

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Early Staffordshire figures are decorative ceramic statuettes manufactured in the Staffordshire region of England during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, featuring subjects such as pastoral scenes, allegorical figures, and animals.

These figures were primarily crafted from earthenware or pearlware clay, formed in plaster moulds, and decorated using lead glazes, underglaze slip, or hand-painted polychrome enamel pigments.

Authentic early pieces often feature hollow bases, visible mould seams, slight glaze crazing, hand-painted details with small irregularities, and a lighter weight compared to modern reproductions.

Position them as accent pieces on a mantelpiece, arrange them within a curated bookshelf alongside antique books, or place them inside a glazed display cabinet to bring historical texture to modern rooms.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding immersion in water or abrasive chemicals that could damage fragile overglaze enamels or historical repairs.
