Pair Staffordshire Pearlware hunter figures

pre-Victorian, circa 1820. Tallest is 7.5ins high, 3.1ins wide, 2.8ins depth. Pair of Staffordshire pearlware figures with a hunting theme which feature a hunter and a female archer, stood on a plinth base. We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they have significantly different base characteristics.
