The popularity of Staffordshire’s porcelain and pottery is a testament to their beautiful craftsmanship. This is exemplified in our Antique 19th century English Staffordshire Zebra. Their figures have always been captivating even from the very beginning when they originated in the 18th century in Staffordshire, England. Crafted by skilled artisans, the manufacturing process involved molding the clay into various shapes and then applying intricate hand-painted details to firing the pieces in a kiln (thermally insulated chamber that produces high temperatures to harden, dry, or change materials). Many of these figures produced were often used as decorative pieces. These figures are still quite popular and highly sought after even in today’s world.
