EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Chimney Ornament from Staffordshire, dating back to the early 19th century. Created by the renowned Staffordshire Potteries, this antique piece of applied arts is a true testament to British craftsmanship and heritage. The intricate details of this ceramic ornament are truly awe-inspiring. The bassetaille technique used in its creation gives it a unique depth and texture, while the vibrant blue color adds an element of elegance. Adorned with polychrome enamel decoration, this glazed earthenware figure depicts a soldier resting by the roadside during war times. The man's attire reflects the fashion of that era - he wears a coat and jacket typical for men in 19th-century England. This charming scene transports us back in time to an era when chimney ornaments were not only decorative but also served as symbols of status and taste. As we admire this exquisite piece, we can't help but appreciate how it represents both English culture and European artistic traditions. It serves as a reminder of Staffordshire's rich history as an industrial hub for pottery production. This print captures not just an object but also tells a story - one that connects us to our past and reminds us of the beauty found in everyday objects from centuries gone by.
