Historical Background:The Staffordshire Potteries in England were a major center for ceramic production from the 17th century onward. By the 19th century, they were producing a vast array of decorative and utilitarian earthenware for a burgeoning middle class. Butter dishes and other animalform containers were highly popular, reflecting the Victorian fascination with both nature and elaborate table settings. Swanthemed items were particularly common, as the bird symbolized grace and was a favored decorative motif. Pieces like this were often molded and then handfinished, making each one unique. The presence of crazing and the wear on the gilding are typical signs of an authentic 19thcentury Staffordshire piece that was a functional and cherished part of a Victorian household.
