FAQs

Staffordshire pottery encompasses figures and tableware manufactured in the Staffordshire region of England, with a notable surge in hand-painted earthenware figures occurring during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

These figures were typically modelled in earthenware clay, hand-painted with metallic oxide glazes, and fired in pottery kilns, often featuring distinctive bocage or tree-stump supports.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of age such as crazing in the glaze, hollow undersides with vent holes, hand-modelled details rather than cast uniformity, and appropriate wear to the pigments.

Display these figures on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or enclosed cabinets to add historical depth, texture, and a focal point of traditional craftsmanship to modern spaces.

Clean antique ceramics gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that might damage delicate hand-painted glazes or historical repairs.
