This figure will have considerable interest for collectors of Staffordshire figures. It is pearlware, not porcelain, but it is pretty much a direct copy of a porcelain figure made around the same time by the Derby factory. In the absence of trademark and copyright laws, it was truly a free-for-all market and one factory could steal another factory's ideas whenever it chose to. This musical fellow is six inches tall. There are well-done repairs and repainting to the branches, his left arm and a small section of his green coat as well as two flowers.
