Hundreds of pottery factories were set up in Staffordshire during the Victorian period, many of them producing crude colourful figures, sold to decorate the more humble households. In a dark cottage in winter they must have seemed so bright and joyful, their colours brightening any room they were displayed, from kitchen to bed chamber.
 
A sweet Staffordshire figure of a clock with two cherubs.
 
As always with Victorian Staffordshire figure there is some slight paint loss but not at all detrimental to the item.
In general good condition with no chips or cracks.
 
Dimensions: 16.5 cm high x 9 cm wide
