How do I identify a terracotta dog?

Terracotta pieces are made from porous, reddish-brown clay that is typically left unglazed or finished with a matte paint layer. This material was especially favoured for large-scale and life-size sculptures of pugs and hounds produced in Austria and France during the nineteenth century.

Parian ware is a type of dense, fine-grained white porcelain developed in Victorian Britain to resemble carved marble. It was widely utilised for detailed statues and figure groups depicting hunting dogs and domestic scenes.

Where were Staffordshire poodles made?

Staffordshire poodles were produced by pottery factories in the Staffordshire region of England during the nineteenth century. These earthenware figures often feature textured clay coats and were designed as decorative chimney ornaments for Victorian homes.
