Description: This is a beautiful pair of antique Staffordshire Spaniel dog figurines, hand-crafted and painted, likely dating back to the mid-19th to early-20th century (circa 1850-1910). These charming ceramic dogs feature: Height: Approximately 10 inches each. Gold Luster Details: Hand-applied gold on collars, chains, and spots with light wear consistent with age. Hand-Painted Features: Each piece shows unique brushstroke details, especially in the facial features and markings, showcasing their handcrafted origin. Authentic Crazing: Fine cracking in the glaze indicative of their antique nature. Hollow Construction: Typical of authentic Staffordshire pottery. The base of both figurines is unglazed and rough—a hallmark of traditional Staffordshire craftsmanship. There are no maker’s marks, as is typical of many Staffordshire pieces. Condition: One figurine has visible cracks on the underside/base, but it remains sturdy and displays beautifully. Gold luster shows some wear, adding to their vintage charm. Minor imperfections in painting and glazing, consistent with hand-made production and age. This pair is an excellent example of Victorian Staffordshire pottery, perfect for collectors, decorators, or those seeking timeless decor.
