FAQs

Staffordshire pottery figures were produced in the Staffordshire Potteries region of England from the mid-18th century onwards, gaining immense popularity during the Victorian era for mantelpiece decoration.

These figures were typically hand-modelled or slip-cast in earthenware, then hand-painted with underglaze colours or enamel paints before undergoing a final kiln firing.

Authentic pieces often exhibit fine crazing in the glaze, hollow undersides with vent holes, hand-painted details with minor brush variations, and signs of genuine age-related wear.

Display them as focal points on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or enclosed glass cabinets to add a touch of historic character and narrative charm to contemporary spaces.

Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading, dust them gently with a soft, dry brush, and avoid using any liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals on the porous ceramic.
