These figurines are frequently unmarked by the pottery manufacturer as they were often from smaller factories in Staffordshire and mass produced, for the evolving middle classes.

Made from earthenware with blue tinged lead glaze.

They were produced for mantle pieces and shelves, consequently they are only decorated front and side.

Total weight 298 g

Good clean condition. 

The number painted internally is the artist who decorated each piece. They could then be paid according to the total they decorated.

A fascinating insight into Victorian family life. Will have produced many hours of amusement.
