I've seen a close match of this child's cup described as Staffordshire

from the quality of the carving to the care taken with the painting

Unsigned and undated but I believe dating to the 1970s

Two (Large Doll Scale) Old Handmade Chairs And Bench clay figures painted blackI'd guess this old pair of chairs and bench were lovingly custom built for a group of rag dolls (I've included one photo of an 11 inch tall doll seated very happily on the bench for scale). I love the lines and old paint, which is now a sort of creamy taupe, and if not displaying a few favorite dolls, think they'd be great just set on a shelf interspersed with studio pottery or other folk art furniture. T Chairs measure 8 3 4" t x 4 1 2" w x 4 5 8" d.
