A Staffordshire Pottery figure of a lion, circa 1840
Staffordshire Pottery figures are ceramic figurines produced primarily in Staffordshire, England, from the 18th to 19th centuries. These hand-painted earthenware pieces often depict famous people, animals, religious scenes, or everyday life.
They were affordable and widely collected by the British middle class, making them a common decorative item in Victorian homes. The figures are known for their charm, folk-art style, and vibrant glazes. Each piece varies slightly due to handcrafting, enhancing their uniqueness.
Today, they are prized by collectors for their historical value and visual appeal, representing a snapshot of social and cultural life in Georgian and Victorian Britain.
