Description

A charming antique Staffordshire pottery figure group depicting a gentleman rider mounted on horseback, finished in traditional hand painted enamel colours with decorative bocage-style detailing.

Pieces such as these were originally produced during the 19th century as mantel ornaments and were commonly displayed on fireplaces within Victorian homes.

The figure features bright polychrome decoration with a white horse, pastel blue jacket, orange scarf, and hand highlighted details throughout.

The stylised modelling and naïve folk-art charm are highly characteristic of Staffordshire pottery produced during the mid to late 19th century.

A highly decorative example of English Victorian ceramics, ideal for collectors of Staffordshire figures, equestrian antiques, or period country
