Staffordshire hen with chicks tureen

Victorian, circa 1860. 23.6ins high, 29.5ins wide, 5.1ins depth.



Staffordshire tureen with cover which features a hen with her seven chicks. One of the chicks is perched on her back,
the others peep out from underneath, resting on a shaped base.







We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they are of significantly different sizes. Multi-coloured version.
Decorated 'in the round' - decoration to front and reverse.




Book reference not found.
