Fabulous Staffordshire figurine of "The Welsh Tailor's Wife", circa 1980's. The form of this character was based on Derby porcelain figures of around 1760, which in turn were based on Meissen figures. The folktale behind the figure is that a tailor made the same fancy clothes for himself and his wife as he did for the local duke. The duke discovered this and made them ride goats while the other villagers laughed at them.
Our Wife rides a goat, with a kid at its feet. Both woman and goat are laden with baskets
