A pair of Staffordshire figures showing a young girl seated on the back of a goat. These figures are probably depictions of the Princesses Royal and stand 6" and are well modeled and colored. The potters shorthand and a clue to the identity of the children is the inclusion of The Prince of Wales feathers in the hats. The clothes are cobalt blue and each child is wearing a hat with a plume, one red the other green. The goats are well detailed also and painted and decorated with shards to indicate a furry coat. the goats are modeled in large scale to indicate the small size and age of the children. Children and animals are a popular subject for collecting and were also for the Staffordshire potters. These figures are perfect and are C1845. |
