A wonderfully characterful fox head string holder, made by Philip Laureston for Babbacombe Pottery and stamped accordingly. Executed in richly matte glazed ceramic, the piece displays exceptional depth and tonal variation—warm amber and burnished chestnut hues layered with darker brushwork to create a lifelike sense of movement and dimension. The crisp white chest provides striking contrast, while the expressive eyes and alert ears capture the unmistakable charm of the fox. A true example of English pottery craftsmanship, this piece brings a refined sporting sensibility and heritage character into the home.

STYLING SUGGESTION Perfectly suited for a well-appointed kitchen, butler’s pantry, or equestrian tack room, this piece adds a refined sporting element without feeling overly thematic. Style it on a wooden shelf alongside folded linens, leather-bound books, or a neatly arranged set of grooming brushes. It layers beautifully into a Ralph Lauren–inspired interior—warm woods, polished leather, and subtle brass accents—for a look that feels both curated and quietly collected over time.
