Swans are often associated with Valentine’s day.  I thought it would be a perfect time to share with you my antique Staffordshire swan collection!

Staffordshire was made by several different companies in the 1800s.  To read more about Staffordshire and see my cat collection, click here.

I found my first pair on eBay a year ago.  It’s a pair of inkwells. These are my favorite!  I love the pale pink on them. 

Then I kept finding more and more.  By the way, the one below is a vase. 

yes it has cracks and a repair but it was $5.

And then I had a collection.  These are all vases. 

Let’s take a look at some of the ones I’m still missing from my collection!

For some reason they liked to make inkwells with swans on them.

 This one is similar to my pair of swans with signets, but it is in a different colorwave.  Also the signets are in a slightly different position.

This pair of vases is newer as it has an “England” stamp on the bottom.

 This isn’t a figurine of just swans, but I liked the little boy feeding the swans!
