What are Staffordshire pottery poodles?

Staffordshire pottery poodles are nineteenth-century ceramic decorative figures modelled as dogs, frequently produced in pairs for domestic display. Potters created these mantelpiece ornaments during the Victorian era using earthenware and glazes, often adding puppies or baskets.

How were these ceramic dogs used?

Victorian households placed these figures symmetrically on mantelpieces, shelves, and firesides as decorative ornaments. Some specialised pieces also served functional roles, such as holding quills or framing clock groups on the mantel.

How do I care for antique pottery?

Display these glazed earthenware figures away from direct sunlight and areas subject to sudden temperature changes. Dust them gently with a dry, soft cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners on the enamel or gilt details.
