19th Century Staffordshire Flat-back Group Figure

This Staffordshire figure has a man and a woman seated under an arch with a clock face. They are sitting with crossed feet. Each has a diagonal sash across the chest. There is a gold stripe around the base. The piece measures 8" tall. There is wear to the paint. The base has a piece like a chip under the glaze. Being under the glaze this was done in the manufacturing process. Nice collectible piece.
