Pair Staffordshire white and gilt cockerels/roosters

Victorian, circa 1880. Tallest is 12ins high, 9.7ins wide, 4.9ins depth. Pair of Staffordshire figures with a pastoral theme which feature cockerels/roosters, stood on a shaped base.
We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they are of significantly different sizes.



White and gilt version. Bright gilt base line and embellishment.
Flatback, decorated only to the front.
Vent holes are present.
