Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

They can be displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard to add character, historic charm, and a touch of traditional symmetry to modern or eclectic spaces.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit fine crazing in the glaze, hollow interior construction, hand-painted details with slight variations between pairs, and vent holes necessary for the firing process.

These figures are typically crafted from earthenware clay, hand-painted with underglaze or overglaze enamels, and often finished with a clear lead glaze that provides their characteristic glossy sheen.

Staffordshire pottery dogs are ceramic figures produced in the Staffordshire potteries of England, particularly during the Victorian era in the 19th century, often intended as mantelpiece ornaments.
