- Vase, 1830-1850 - By the mid-1800s, potters in Staffordshire, England, created an array of ceramic figures and sold them to a growing lower- and middle-class population. Americans, too, bought these colorful figures to decorate their homes. Some figures, like this woman milking a cow, represented a past rural life--a nostalgia for rural times before the migration to industrialized urban centers.
