Description
This stunning, Staffordshire mantle figure, beautifully depicts Little Red Riding Hood from the Brothers Grimm tale. She is seated in a floral patterned lemon dress, in her unmistakable red cape, complete with Mr Wolf!
This fine English piece, has a wonderfully naive style, decorated partially in 'the round' on an oval base, with great attention to detail.
Key Points:
• A Mid-Victorian literary themed 'flatback' figure
• Brightly coloured poly-chrome enamel paintwork with lead glaze.
• Stood on an oval concave base
• Decorated predominantly to 'her' front face with expressive brushwork
• Showing a small vent hole to the piece's back face and remains of a gilt line to the foot
• In scarcely found, unrestored condition and highly collectible
Distinguishing features of this era of English china:
• Characteristic blue tinge to the white lead glaze
• Decorated front only from c1845
• Concave bases with lack of maker’s mark
• Somewhat dull gilt work
History
At the height of the British Empire, with a strong economy, and a popular Queen, you would very likely be interested in buying such a ‘fashionable’ figure(s) for your mantlepiece. They were made so that the working class man or woman could display household ornaments of popular characters / events of the time.
Staffordshire figure ‘producers’ of this type were actually 'pot banks' rather than the more traditional ‘factories'. These small ‘cottage industries' had relatively humble foundations, homes where a kiln had been built for scaled back production and as such, figures are rarely marked by their maker.
Year of manufacture:
c.1855-60
Approximate Measurements:
24cm H (9.5")
15cm W base diameter
10cm D at base (12.5cm D at widest point of figure)
Condition report:
In overall really very good antique condition. With these pieces, given their age, wear and tear to some degree is to be naturally expected. She displays all over age related crazing, as is very common though we feel this only adds to its sense of age, originality and history.

No restoration has been undertaken with unrestored pieces being quite scarce. There is some paint wear to the overglaze enamels, which again, is quite usual for this type of ware, with a few paint losses to her bonnet and cape and a tiny amount to the foliage in which she sits. She has a historic hairline to her one side, which we believe to be very old, stable and a does not warrant restoration. Please see in particular images 9 and 10 for clarity. No further chips, nibbles or damage of note.
