Description

This pair of figurines although not marked are from one of the Staffordshire potteries and indeed it is widely believed that they are the oldest children of Queen Victoria, The Princess Royal (Victoria 1840-1891) and The Prince of Wales (Prince Albert 1841-1910) and the combination of children and goats were if you were fortunate enough not that unusual as goats were often used to pull young children around in little carriages. From the age of the children depicted I would imagine these figurines would date to circa 1855. The faces of both the children and those rather large goats are so sweet and the detail of the clothes of the children is lovely with the matching painting of the feathers in their hats , the delicate painting of the flowers on her skirt. The goats are both painted with a grey and orange wooly coat and they stand on oval bases with heather like foliage made from shredded clay which is also used wonderfully for their manes, beards and tails.

AGE - Circa 1855
*
CONDITION - Both the figurines are in good condition, there is however on the horns of Prince Alberts goat what looks like some very old brown glue, but I cannot see a break in the horns which I have tried to portray in the photos, but it is there I wonder if there could of been a chip which the glue was used for but I am really not sure and certainly the glue is old, I would imagine the kind that was made from bones. The gilt line around the rim of the base of the Princess Royal's goat is rubbed more so than that of Prince Alberts whose figurine does seem slightly lighter in colour than the Princess Royal.
