ABOUT STAFFORDSHIRE:
IN THE 19TH CENTURY THE STAFFORDSHIRE AREA IN ENGLAND HAD ABUNDANCE OF CLAY AND COAL.. LOCAL FOLK
PAINTERS, INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, USED THESE RESOURCES TO PRODUCE DELIGHTFUL YET UNSOPHISTICATED FIGURES, FOR THE WORKING CLASS.
ASIDE FROM FIGRURINES THERE WERE ALSO DEPICTIONS OF ANIMALS, COTTAGES, COMMONERS AND ROYALTY.
THEY WERE DESIGNED TO BE PLACED ON FIREPLACE MANTELS WHICH IS WHY THE BACKS OF THESE POTTERIES REMAIN UNFINISHED.
IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EITHER CALIF. WASHINGTON OR OREGON PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR AN ACCURATE SHIPPING AMOUNT PRIOR TO PURCHASING.
