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.

Staffordshire pottery figures are earthenware decorative ornaments produced in the Staffordshire potteries region of England, primarily during the 19th century. They were created as accessible decorative items for Victorian homes, portraying animals, historical figures, and biblical scenes.

These figures were typically crafted from press-moulded earthenware decorated with painted enamel pigments and clear or coloured lead glazes. Many higher-end lion figures from this era also incorporated separately inset glass eyes.

Authentic pieces generally display press-mould seam lines, firing holes or small release holes on the underside, and fine glaze crazing consistent with age. Original hand-painted details often show subtle variations and slight wear around high-contact edges.

A paired set of ceramic figures can be placed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or bookshelf. Combining historical ceramics with modern furnishings creates visual contrast and adds texture to layered living spaces.

Dust figures gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush. Avoid submersing earthenware in water or using abrasive liquid detergents, as moisture can penetrate glazed crazing and weaken porous ceramic bodies.
