This lass loves a sailor

One of the joys of Staffordshire figures is the great variety of molds available. You could spend a lifetime collecting sailors alone. They were a popular subject throughout the 19th century, at the start of which Charles Dibden penned the following verse...

But the standing toast that pleased the most
Was "The wind that blows,
The Ship that goes,
And the lass that loves a sailor!"
