Official merchandise for the Spitting Image TV series. Made by Carlton Ware in the 1980's. Branded as "Luck & Flaw" they produced a range of ceramic novelties based on the satirical puppets of British royalty & politics.
This piece was made in 1981 to commemorate the marriage of Charles and Diana
There is a small chip on the back which has fractured from a firing crack. There are firing flaws to this one (see pictures), small cracks and blemishes. Crazing to glaze. See pictures.
Unusual painted version. I believe these painted versions were factory tests / samples and sold as seconds at the Carlton Ware factory. I have another one listed in different colours.
Approx. 19cm tall
