Staffordshire Drafter

Staffordshire made some china and porcelain pieces back in the late nineteenth century. They're not my cuppa tea, but they are considered valuable and highly collectible.

Apparently there is a company in Great Britain that does reproductions. Or did - judging from the piece I found at Raven's Roost Antiques, it was made in the 1950s or 1960s. (I've tried but been unable to find out anything about the company.)

 Staffordshire Reproductions England drafter with harness, $9.50, 5/31/13, Raven's Roost Antiques.
 I'd love to take the harness off, but that would lessen any value the piece has, so it's staying on.
Using my Breyer Misty for scale.
