FAQs

Preservation requires keeping ceramics out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, dusting gently with a soft, dry brush, avoiding liquid immersion or harsh chemical cleaners, and displaying them in stable indoor environments away from high humidity.

Antique Staffordshire figures bring historical character and vibrant colour to contemporary spaces when displayed on mantelshelves, within glass-fronted cabinets, or styled alongside books on library shelves to create a curated, eclectic aesthetic.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic crazing, subtle firing flaws, hand-painted polychrome detailing with distinct underglaze colours, hollow bases with ventilation holes, and natural earthenware body ageing visible beneath the glaze.

These pieces were typically cast or hand-modelled in earthenware clay, finished with a liquid clay slip, and hand-painted with metallic oxide glazes before undergoing a high-temperature kiln firing.

Obadiah Sherratt pottery spill vases are highly collectable, hand-modelled Staffordshire earthenware figures produced during the early 19th century, typically featuring brightly coloured, theatrical figural groups and structural floral or architectural motifs designed to hold wooden tapers for lighting fires.
