Antique Staffordshire Flatback of a Country Couple
A charming antique Staffordshire pottery figure group depicting a country couple, the woman carrying a sheaf of wheat upon her head and holding a basket of fruit, her companion in rustic attire with a green cloak and red cravat. Hand-painted in typical bright enamels of blue, green, ochre, and red, and standing upon a grassy mound base.
This piece captures the romanticised rural life so popular in Victorian England reflecting the sentimental taste of the period. The glaze displays a fine network of age-related crazing typical of authentic 19th-century Staffordshire pottery.
Condition: Excellent antique condition — no chips, cracks, or restorations detected. Fine age-related crazing and minor enamel wear consistent with age.
