This is a great item for popping on top of the mantlepiece of an antique fireplace in a Victorian interior.
This is a genuine 19th-century Victorian example and is in good condition for its age. It dates to the 1860s; so now over 150 years old.
It generally good antique condition with no cracks or crackling to the glaze etc. There is a little blemish to the bottom right hand corner - like a little graze which was done in the making. I have photographed this for your inspection.
It is a nice large size for display. It is a large size measuring 13 1/4 inches in height and with a width of 8 inches.
The flatback figurine is designed to be seen set against a wall - the front is decorated but the back is left plain as you would not see this when it is on show.
Here we have a couple sitting on top of the representation of a clock face (the numbers have been picked out with gold gilt - but sadly some numbers have been rubbed with the figurine being picked up and put down for over a hundred years). This is reflected in my asking price for this example.
The couple is Scottish - the gentleman wears a kilt and the strange item shown on his shoulder - is his bagpipes - the chanter section is shown on his lap. Also, on his lap, you can see his sporran - which is a traditional one made of badger (not that I would condone such garb these days). He has Argyll plaid socks and black shoes - and also wears a tall cockade hat.
His sweetheart sits beside him - she is dressed in a pretty white dress which is embellished with tiny flowers.
These figurines with figures on painted clock faces are commonly nicknamed "a poor man's clock" - as it would tell the time and by correct two times in a day!
This is a nice clean example which looks good on display. It is a genuine antique, NOT a modern reproduction. It is a nicely painted and finished example and again this is reflected in my asking prices.
I will have to send this to you with Parcelforce24 in the UK. This will cost just over £10 and will be applied at check out.
