Know before you buy
These monkeys are crafted from fine Creamware, a type of high-quality English earthenware known for its smooth, creamy-colored glaze and historical significance in 18th-century ceramics.
Each figurine stands 16 inches tall. Given their height, they are best suited for display on a mantel, console table, or a sturdy bookshelf where they can serve as a focal point.
No, these pieces are designed exclusively for indoor use. The delicate Creamware finish is best preserved in a climate-controlled environment away from the elements.
They are sold as a pair. The two figures are designed to complement each other, reflecting the satirical 18th-century art style that inspired their creation.
To maintain the glazed finish, simply dust the figurines periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the delicate surface of the earthenware.
