Table of Contents
Made in great quantities, expressly for working people and either sold for just a few pence each or given away as fairings, Staffordshire figures allowed most working-class householders and cottagers to own a cheerful piece of ceramic ware that suited their interests and pockets. Made in the period of Queen Victorias reign, these figures were crudely modelled and naively painted, and their subject matter was dismissed as uninteresting by the wealthier classes. However, it is precisely this simplicity that makes them gloriously representative of the subjects that amused, concerned and interested the common people. This book offers an overview of Staffordshire figures, describing their manufacture, the working conditions of their makers, and illustrating a wide selection of figures.
