Product Description
A rare and beautifully refined pair of Staffordshire-style cats, dating from the late Victorian to early 20th century (c.1890–1930). Their elegant upright posture and refined modelling set them apart from both naïve Victorian examples and later mid-century reproductions.
Standing at approximately 26.5cm tall, they have a commanding presence that instantly elevates a mantel, console, or display shelf. The fine white clay body provides a smooth ground for the delicate all-over floral transfer-printed decoration – an uncommon and highly decorative finish that sets this pair apart. The glossy glaze and soft natural crazing give them a beautifully aged surface with depth and character. The refined clay body, early transfer technique, and traditional vent holes support an attribution to the late Victorian to early 20th-century period.
Their gentle facial expression, slender necks, and refined silhouette create a timeless look that feels at home in classic English interiors as well as more modern, romantic, or eclectic spaces. A truly charming discovery for those who appreciate distinctive ceramic figures with elegance and personality.
