Pair of Antique Victorian Staffordshire Pottery Spaniel Dogs

19th century
Description

A charming pair of antique Victorian Staffordshire pottery spaniel dogs, beautifully modelled in a traditional seated position with their heads turned slightly and their magnificent curled tails resting alongside their bodies.

Each spaniel has a wonderfully expressive face with large amber-coloured eyes, finely painted black noses and delicate facial detailing. Their coats are finished in a soft cream-white glaze, with beautifully moulded flowing fur, long ears and decorative collars with pendant medallions, enhanced with touches of gilt.

The pair are particularly appealing displayed together, with their complementary poses creating a delightful symmetrical arrangement. Their generous proportions, characterful expressions and decorative appearance make them wonderful examples of traditional Victorian Staffordshire pottery.

These delightful spaniels would look lovely displayed on a mantelpiece, dresser, console table or amongst a collection of antique English ceramics, bringing warmth, charm and character to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Condition: Very good antique condition with some age-related crazing, minor surface wear and rubbing to the original decoration and gilding, consistent with their age.

Height: 31.5 cm (12.40 in)

Width: 28 cm (11.02 in)

Depth: 11 cm (4.33 in)

Date: Circa 1860

Origin: England

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1860s:
Fine network crazing through the glaze: natural movement of earthenware over many decades.
Soft rubbing across the gilt highlights: surface wear from handling.
Hand-painted muzzles and expressive facial details: Victorian factory workshop painting.
Earthenware body with cream glaze: standard Staffordshire pottery production.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Originating in 19th-century England, Staffordshire pottery spaniels are decorative earthenware figures produced primarily in the Potteries district for placement on fireplace mantels.

These figures were typically press-moulded from lead-glazed earthenware or pearlware, featuring hand-painted enamel facial detailing and gilt accents.

Authentic 19th-century examples usually exhibit moulding seams, small ventilation release holes at the base or back, wear to gilding, and hand-painted variations in facial details.

Position the seated pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or window sill to add historical texture to traditional or contemporary interiors.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical agents that may degrade original gilding or cold-painted enamel details.
