<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Van_Poperin, post: 10195936, member: 16501&quot;]These are interesting. They are - problematically - NOT glazed in the typical pearl/slipware way that defines Staffordshire figures, although the molds are definitely Victorian flat back Staffordshire (per [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] ‘s example above). Their label says they’re bookends… are they definitely hollow pottery?</p><p><br /></p><p>As examples go, the <i>original</i> pew figures are rare, and valuable for their scarcity… but unlike some figures that do well no matter how new they are, I don’t believe they’re extremely collectible (unlike those with, say, specific political themes). But I stand to be corrected by an auction!</p><p><br /></p><p>The original pew groups can be viewed here: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pew_group" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pew_group" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pew_group</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
