A charming 19th-century Staffordshire pottery figure depicting King Charles I on horseback, shown in a flowing cloak and plumed hat. These equestrian figures were popular mantelpiece decorations in Victorian England, celebrating royal and historical subjects in naïve yet dignified style.
This example features hand-painted details in black, cream, and soft blush tones, with characteristic glaze crazing and minor kiln imperfections typical of early Staffordshire production. A wonderful example of English folk pottery with time-worn appeal. England, circa 1850–1870.
