About Staffordshire Figurines:

Popular from the early 1800s through the Victorian era, Staffordshire figurines depicted everything from royal couples to everyday peasants. Typically sold to the middle class, these handpainted ceramics were often placed on mantelpieces and shelves. Though many pieces were unsigned, their folkart style and naïve charm make them widely collectible today.
