Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1860s:
Separately moulded front leg: typical of mid-nineteenth-century earthenware figures.
Small pierced vent hole in the back: early Victorian kiln firing practice.
Hand-painted tally marks underneath: nineteenth-century factory piecework records.
Fine crazing across the glaze: natural ageing of earthenware over many decades.
Plain unpainted backs: intended specifically to sit on a mantelpiece.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This pair of Victorian Staffordshire decorative figurines originates from around 1860 in the English Country House style. Modelled in a seated spaniel form, the pieces are formed from white ceramic with a copper lustre glaze, featuring copper lustre patches and ears, painted facial features, and a moulded collar and locket. Each dog sits on a separate front leg with a glossy white finish, metallic copper markings on the body and tail, and dark painted eyes and snouts. They measure 15 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. These ceramic animal ornaments suit placement on a mantelpiece in a living room, study, or hallway, adding traditional nineteenth-century character to interior schemes. They integrate well into cabinet displays, bookcase shelves, or side table arrangements alongside other antique pottery and decorative ceramics.

FAQs

Staffordshire copper lustre dogs are nineteenth-century English earthenware figurines representing seated spaniels decorated with metallic oxide glaze highlights.

These ceramic figures were press-moulded in hollow earthenware sections, coated in a white glaze, and detailed with metallic copper lustre accents prior to firing.

Authentic mid-Victorian examples feature press-moulded hollow bases, small air-release holes, visible glaze crazing, and gentle rubbing wear to the surface lustre.

Position the pair facing inward toward each other on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or bookshelf to establish symmetry and visual structure.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, ensuring no liquid cleaners or abrasive materials contact the delicate metallic glaze.
