Pair of Victorian Staffordshire Figures - Sand & Beesums

A glimpse of social history is offered by this scarce and delightful Pair of Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Staffordshire Pottery Titled Figures of Street Vendors, "Sand", H a2176 and "Beesums", H a2177, each titled on the base in raised gilt capitals. Highly evocative of the period and in excellent condition, these figures are very rarely met with in today's marketplace, the last pair to have passed through our stock having been sold to an Australian client over twenty years ago. She stands in front of her mule, wearing a mob cap, blouse, and dress with apron, a bowl in her right hand, her left resting upon a bag of sand on the animal's back. He stands in front of his mule, wearing a hat, long coat, waistcoat, shirt and trousers, his right hand holding two bundles of beesums on the saddle, while two more rest on the ground.
