The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Staffordshire pottery refers to lead-glazed earthenware figures and vessels manufactured in the Staffordshire region of England, predominantly during the 18th and 19th centuries. Production peaked during the Victorian era, when factories created press-moulded figures designed as affordable decorative ornaments for domestic homes.

These figures were constructed from local earthenware clay pressed into multi-part plaster moulds. After the initial firing into a biscuit state, the pieces were coated in lead glaze, refired, and subsequently decorated with hand-painted enamel colours and lustre glazes.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually possess a small release hole on the reverse or underside to prevent exploding in the kiln, along with minor glaze crazing and soft wear to the base. They often feature hollow interiors, hand-painted details with slight brushwork variations, and flat or unglazed backs designed to sit against a wall.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or within a curated bookshelf creates visual balance. Combining traditional ceramics with clean-lined modern furniture provides an engaging textural and historical contrast in contemporary living spaces.

Dust the surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid immersing the figures in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners, as water can penetrate fine crazing lines and damage underlying unglazed earthenware or delicate overglaze enamels.
