English Staffordshire Pottery Figural Group, Girl with Fawn
Sold
DETAILS
An antique Staffordshire figure group of a young girl standing with her young pet deer. She rests her yellow sun hat on the back of the deer. 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.
