Staffordshire Pottery Figures

Firstly sorry for posting all in one but I'm not looking for a ID - I just need pointing in the right direction and a few questions answers buy someone who know this period - This is not my time and seems a minefield. Secondly - again apologies - also not C20th

So for a friend.

1) Are they correct - not fakes - Base looks good to me?
2) I assume the damage really affects the value - so damaged ones not worth much?
3) Are these early / late?
4) Where is the best place to try and compare- looked on EB etc but seems very little traffic in theses, I assume they are out of fashion big-time?

Thanks

Alex

I don't know much about these but some do look early, and if they are sufficiently rare they still have some value even if damaged. If you're on Facebook (am I allowed to say this?) there's a good group with people who could give you quick and authoritative answers. Also worth looking at specialist dealer websites such as Andrew Dando and Martin Edgell for pictures of early pieces and guide retail prices.

TY Roger, my eye is simply not trained in this aesthetic so not sure if these are frogs or princes. I'll scan the names you mention, but can you post the FB link?

Try these:

and

I try not to look at them too much in case I get hooked!

mod note

no links to sales please

I found three of them

Staffordshire Figure Welsh Welch Tailor's Wife Riding Goat
19th Century Staffordshire Pearlware Cow Creamer with Milkmaid
Staffordshire Pearlware Dandies group

Could still do with a like for any Staffordshire Collectors group on fb - My business account does not let me search and internet google search links just take me to my homepage, totally screwed.

There are a number of Staffordshire collectors in FB’s British Pottery and Porcelain Discussion Group

Found this site

I wish they included photos of the bases. Your last one looks a bit iffy; maybe early 20thC rather than 19thC?

Apologies to mod.

It may be worth sending an email along with photos to your local auction house. Most of them offer a free valuation service . And they are very knowledgable with regards to dating items.

Andrew Dando is on the British Pottery and Porcelain Discussion group on FB so I’d go there as the first choice

TY all, plenty of avenues to explore - Friend was given these and if you are not a collector and don't want to display them then they are just clutter. There is no family story or attachment I assume. If they are not you aesthetic then lets face it they are just stuffed in some box under the bed in the spare room making dust and cobwebs.
