Pair Kent Staffordshire cow milkmaid/milkman figures

Victorian, circa 1900. Tallest is 6.7ins high, 5.9ins wide, 3.1ins depth.

Pair of Staffordshire figures with a pastoral theme which feature a cow and milkmaid/milkman by a stream, stood on a circular base.



We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they are of significantly different colouration.

Multi-coloured version. Dull gilt base line and embellishment. Decorated 'in the round' - decoration to front and reverse. Vent hole to the reverse.
