Rare Large Pair Kent Staffordshire Giraffes

Victorian, circa 1900. Tallest is 8.1ins high, 6.3ins wide, 3.1ins depth. Pair of Kent Staffordshire Pottery figures which feature giraffes

underneath a palm tree, recumbent on an oval base.

We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they have significantly different base characteristics.

Decorated 'in the round' - decoration to front and reverse. Vent holes to the underside.

Book reference ,'Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835-1875' Book 4, by A.& N. Harding, page 165, figure 4641.
