FAQs

Staffordshire pottery cats are hollow earthenware figures produced in the Staffordshire potteries of England, particularly during the 19th century, designed primarily as mantelpiece ornaments for Victorian homes.

These figures are typically molded from earthenware clay, hand-painted with underglaze colours, and finished with a glossy clear lead glaze, often featuring distinct sponge-ware or brush-work detailing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic crazing in the glaze, lightweight hollow construction, vent holes from firing, hand-painted facial features, and minor wear consistent with age rather than modern casting seams.

Position them on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or sideboards to introduce historical character, texture, and a playful focal point that contrasts cleanly with contemporary minimalist or eclectic design schemes.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or harsh chemicals, which can penetrate old glaze crazing and damage the underlying ceramic body.
