How can I tell if Staffordshire figurines are real?
1 Answer
To tell if Staffordshire figurines are real, turn them over. An authentic Staffordshire will have a hole in the base due to the press-molded firing technique. Also, artisans hand-painted the figurines, so no two ever show off the exact same variations in color. Staffordshire didn't add maker's marks to their pieces. If you see a name on a decorative object, it is unlikely to be authentic. Find a collection of expertly vetted Staffordshire figurines on 1stDibs.
