  • Fairing - A fairing is a decorative porcelain figure, often in the form of a miniature statue or figurine made in Staffordshire or by Conta & Bohne of Possneck Eastern Germany. Fairings were originally produced as inexpensive gifts or souvenirs, and sold or given away as prizes at fairs or as prizes at carnivals. They were often made of porcelain, a type of fine, white clay that is fired at high temperatures to produce a hard, vitrified material. Porcelain fairings typically depict people, animals, or scenes from daily life, and were highly prized for their delicate beauty and intricate detailing.
