<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Van_Poperin, post: 4098102, member: 16501&quot;]The paintwork is very different from the cold tone glaze on both Sceaux and pre-1840 British figures. With these colours, and it being made in what looks like two pieces (figure and base), I say post 1840 British.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also rare, but not incredibly so. Here’s one listed on eBay a while back, wrongly identified as 18th century (it didn’t sell). Note yours has a base, so it definitely was made in two pieces which increases its value a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]329856[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: There are actually a few of these guys on Google if you search “staffordshire figure gun.” This site dates the figure to 1830 which is still too early IMO but not by far: <a href="https://www.richardgardnerantiques.co.uk/shop/sold/early-square-staffordshire-figure-of-a-hunter-with-a-gun-and-dog/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.richardgardnerantiques.co.uk/shop/sold/early-square-staffordshire-figure-of-a-hunter-with-a-gun-and-dog/" rel="nofollow">https://www.richardgardnerantiques.co.uk/shop/sold/early-square-staffordshire-figure-of-a-hunter-with-a-gun-and-dog/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
