fine early antique Staffordshire pottery Prattware Arbour figure group
of two women in attractive Georgian Jane Austin style garb, found
contentedly Asleep

Dimensions:
height 90 mm max. width 102 mm max
Marks:
none
Condition:
In very good condition and excellent for display. Some
typical old restoration: a small flat section of the base has been
filled and repainted; the tiny nose of the figure (right) has been
restored. There are several minute edge chips to the base which are
difficult to spot and too small to be significant. Overall a very nice
example.
