This pair of Victorian Staffordshire poodle figurines dates to circa 1845. The pieces consist of earthenware bodies with a smooth white glaze, hand-painted black facial features, and distinct grey paws on one figure. Each dog incorporates applied shredded clay texture to simulate woolly clipped coats, with one figure exhibiting visible discolouration across its textured fur. The press-moulded animal forms sit upright on plain bases, each with a curled tail featuring matching shredded clay detail. Both earthenware ornaments stand 14 cm high. These traditional English country house figurines fit comfortably on a mantelpiece or shelf display. Collectors place them in living rooms, studies, or side tables as decorative accessories. The antique pair brings period character to interior spaces without requiring extensive arrangement, sitting securely on flat surfaces.

FAQs

Clean earthenware figures using a soft dry brush or a slightly damp microfibre cloth without harsh chemical detergents, avoiding full immersion in water to prevent moisture entering internal cavities.

A pair of Staffordshire poodles can be displayed symmetrically on a mantelpiece, styled alongside art books on a bookshelf, or placed on a console table to add historical interest.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically feature press-moulded earthenware construction, small firing release holes in the base or body, age-appropriate crazing under the glaze, and distinct hand-painted facial features.

These figures were cast in lead-glazed earthenware or pearlware moulds, with shredded clay or extruded spaghetti-like clay applied by hand to create the textured woolly effect prior to firing and hand-painted enamelling.

Staffordshire woolly poodles are Victorian ceramic dog figurines produced primarily in Staffordshire, England, during the 19th century, characterised by textured clay application mimicking clipped poodle coats.
