A fine pair of matched Staffordshire sheep made in England during the Victorian period.

Features; 

• Confetti Texture: Created by applying tiny bits of colored slip (liquid clay) to mimic wool—giving the sheep a fluffy, almost sugar-coated look.

• Bocage Scene: A leafy tree or floral backdrop, often with a central trunk and foliage, forming a decorative arch or canopy behind the animals.

• Flatback Design: Made to sit on a mantel, the back is unglazed and flat—typical of Staffordshire figures from 1830–1870.
