Pair Large Staffordshire Dairy Cows, C. 1860

Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This is a very large and unusual pair of mid-19th century Victorian Staffordshire Dairy Cows that were originally used as trade signs in a milk shop. The inscription at the base of the figures reads "Milk Sold Here". Both pieces are in very good condition with one base showing a minor crack on the internal rim. These Staffordshire cows are unique and a true collector's dream.
