This Victorian Staffordshire flatback figure depicts a seated gentleman in period costume holding a drink. The press-moulded earthenware piece displays a hand-painted enamel glaze with a multicoloured palette featuring red, green, blue, white, and black tones, complemented by dark painted shoes and hair. The figurine rests upon a moulded base decorated with subtle tinted scrollwork details along the lower edge. Visible signs of age include craquelure across the glazed surface and areas of wear to the hand-painted enamel highlights. The figure measures 14.5 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. Ideal for an English country house interior, this decorative figure sits well on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table within a living room, study, or hallway display arrangement.

FAQs

Staffordshire flatbacks are 19th-century press-moulded earthenware ornaments produced in Staffordshire, England, designed with a flat back to sit neatly against a fireplace mantelpiece.

These figures were typically made using multi-part earthenware press moulds, fired, coated with lead glaze, and subsequently hand-painted with overglaze enamel colours.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit press-moulded seams, small air release holes in the ceramic base, an unpainted flat reverse, and natural craze patterns within the lead glaze.

Place them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, integrate them into bookshelf displays, or pair them with contemporary art to add historical texture to a room.

Clean gently using a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemical detergents or submerging in water, which can damage overglaze enamels.
