Staffordshire flatback figures are 19th-century ceramic ornaments produced in England, designed with a flat unglazed reverse to sit flush against a fireplace mantelpiece or shelf.

These figures were cast in press moulds using earthenware clay, fired, coated in a lead glaze, and hand-decorated with enamels and gilding prior to a final low-temperature firing.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically feature an unglazed flat back, small air release vent holes, fine glaze crazing, and evidence of hand-applied enamel paint and gilding.

Staffordshire figures are traditionally arranged as a pair on a mantelpiece, integrated into a bookshelf vignette, or displayed on a sideboard alongside contemporary art.

Clean Staffordshire pottery gently using a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical detergents, immersion in water, or abrasive rubbing that may damage overglaze enamel and gilding.
