FAQs

Staffordshire dog figures are lead-glazed earthenware ornaments produced in Staffordshire, England, predominantly during the 19th century. Originally created for domestic decoration on mantelpieces, they depict various dog breeds, particularly spaniels, greyhounds, and other sighthounds associated with country pursuits.

These figures were cast from earthenware clay using multi-part press moulds. After an initial firing, the bodies were decorated with lead glazes and hand-painted enamel details, often set on press-moulded naturalistic bases.

Authentic Victorian pieces typically exhibit hollow, press-moulded interiors with small air release holes, gentle wear to the enamel or glaze, and hand-painted variations rather than uniform modern machine-printed details.

Displaying ceramic dog figures on a contemporary mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table introduces architectural character and historical contrast when paired alongside clean-lined modern accessories.

Dust figures regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled artist brush. Avoid immersing earthenware in water or using abrasive liquid cleaners, as moisture can compromise delicate overglaze enamels and penetrate unglazed base areas.
