This comprehensive new reference focuses on the variety of animal
figures produced in Staffordshire during the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. Characterized by a cottage industry
quaintness, Staffordshire figures were known as "image toys" and
"chimney ornaments" in their day. Countless subjects were produced
but the animal models comprise a Noah's Ark of some of the most
charming and endearing figures. Today, Staffordshire animals are
among the bestselling and most widely collected antique ceramics.
Beautifully illustrated with over 400 color photographs, this book
traces animal figure evolution through chapters on animals in art,
British ceramics, Staffordshire potters and potteries, and
production techniques and styles. Informative captions provide
descriptions, dates of manufacture, and current values.
