19th-C. English Staffordshire Zebra, C. 1870

A rare and wonderfully expressive 19th-century English Staffordshire zebra, made circa 1870. With its delicately modeled form and bold hand-painted striping, this figure captures the Victorian fascination with the exotic—bringing far-flung curiosities into the parlors of English homes.

Staffordshire figures like this were produced in small regional potteries, often by cottage artisans using simple tools and time-honored techniques. Most were unmarked, and few survived in such fine condition. This zebra displays beautifully, with only the usual kiln flaws, light crazing, and surface wear typical of early Staffordshire. A distinctive and highly collectible piece.
