DETAILS A scarce brightly colored Staffordshire figure group model of a couple. The man stands with his arm around the lady's waist. The young lady holds a basket of flowers in one hand and a hat in the other with her head resting on his shoulder.Staffordshire figures were made from around 1740 to 1900 by various pottery factories in England and Scotland. Most have no maker’s marks. Victorian flatback examples were undecorated on one side because they were designed to sit on a shelf or fireplace mantel and only viewed from the front or sides. Popular subjects included romantic figures, buildings, farm animals, and domestic pets, in particular Queen Victoria’s favored pet, the King Charles Spaniel. LITERATURE A. & N.
