"5 Rye Pottery figurines. Made of porcelain, circa 2000, 2001 & 2002. Marked on base, features: Lovers, Pastry, Nativity, Shepard, and Sailor. The Lovers, True Love The name of this figure says it all really, true love. The tenderness invoked by this piece.

And don’t forget to check the back, where you’ll find two Shepherds celebrating the birth too with the Angel’s perching up above. Shepherd Neame & His Wife of Sussex We’re not sure about the origins of the name for this piece, but it’s without doubt a simple, country figure depicting a humble Shepherd and his wife.

Though you still have to open the gates! Rye Pottery Lovers: Sailor’s Farewell...
