Featuring a stately clock tower, Gothic architectural details, hand-painted greenery and delicate gilt accents, this delightful English ceramic captures the whimsical folk-art style for which the Staffordshire pottery is celebrated.
Beautifully displayed on a mantel, bookshelf, or in a cabinet of curiosities, it also makes a lovely addition to a holiday village or collection of English ceramics.
This particular piece is highly collectable since it features the church steeple sometimes given as wedding gifts and a clock which is an added magnet for certain collectors. It is also in pristine condition. The hand paintings details are almost naive in their presentation making it an especially charming example. See less
