| The Highlanders is a very popular Staffordshire figure, almost too popular. Every beginning collector is familiar with it and has at one time or another had it as part of their collection. There is a very good reason for this, it is charming! What makes this one different though, is that it is a watch holder. Men would place their pocketwatches inside the circle in the Staffordshire figures. This circle is not deep and makes me curious. The figures are beautifully dressed, the man with a pink cape and a rust colored dog. The girl has a green shawl and a rust colored sash there is a violin with her. The hats are tall pink and blue plumes. Flatback, although the shawl has been painted onto the back. An altogether wonderful piece of Staffordshire. condition excellent and they are 13 1/2" tall. | ||
