Antique English Staffordshire Pottery POODLE DOG PAIR

Antique English Staffordshire Pottery POODLE DOG PAIR

~’Coleslaw’~Hand Painted~Separate Front Feet~

Just arrived from England, another great pair of antique Staffordshire dogs.  I’ve tried to find some unusual pairs and I couldn’t pass up these gorgeous little poodle dogs, with their textured ‘coleslaw’ hair, hand painted faces and paws and their fabulous free standing front feet (ONLY FOUND IN THE VERY BEST).

Of course I primarily sell English furniture and just by the nature of my business I see A LOT of Staffordshire, but normally refrain from purchasing it.  However I just so rarely see standing dogs and especially POODLES, that I just couldn’t resist this set!!  

I think they make a fabulous decorative accent….for any mantle or wall shelf, sideboard or bookcase… anywhere you’d like a classic English touch, presented in a most exceptional Staffordshire/porcelain  form.

Measurements:

Each dog is appx. 6 ¼”H x 5” x 2 ¾”.

As mentioned, all of my antiques are hand selected from premier European shippers.  I do not purchase in bulk, but prefer to individually purchase items, with each piece selected for its unique characteristics and quality.

 I do have some other Staffordshire sets that I will be listing shortly…a pair of lions…a pair of collie dogs…..a pair of black luster spaniels….. and some figurines, including an “Uncle Tom & Aunt Chloe”.

Condition:

The dogs are in good condition for their age, with expected normal signs of age and use, scratches, dings, and other imperfections.    The left dog has a tiny little hole on his right hip (see photos)….at first I thought it was a tiny piece of dirt, but it is actually a little hole….the rest of the hip is fine and strong.  There is an unrelated fault line under his belly (see photos) and both dogs have age appropriate crazing.  The coloring is very good and the textured ‘coleslaw’ is in good condition.

PLEASE EMAIL ME with questions prior to bidding, as this is not my area of expertise and I will gladly answer any relevant questions prior to bidding.

 I always provide multiple photos that should be considered as part of the description….Please keep in mind antiques should be purchased for its uniqueness, higher quality material and craftsmanship and antique patina, charm and character….NOT for like-new condition!!!
