Hand-painted in rich Victorian hues of green, ochre, and rose, each figure holds a colorful hat and is modeled in classic English folk art style. Flatback figures like these were made to sit on mantels, with their plain backs intended to rest flush against a wall.

Both figures are marked with a hand-painted red ‘X’ on the base, a decorator’s mark typical of 19th-century Staffordshire production. Their expressive modeling, bold coloring, and less commonly seen equestrian subject matter make them stand out among more traditional Staffordshire themes. A beautiful display pair for collectors of antique English pottery or lovers of country cottage decor.
