These elegant Dogs are still treasured guardians of many people's hearths and mantelpieces.

This pair have adorable faces.

Antique pottery Spaniel Dogs.

Unstamped:
Unstamped Staffordshire dogs are actually a good sign of authenticity, as genuine 19th-century antique figures were rarely marked. Also authentic 19th-century antique figures typically feature a small, unobtrusive pin hole on the back or base. These dogs tick the boxes.

As found one hairline crack, some crazing, but over all good condition, no chips, they are a stunning pair of Doggies. One Dog has a peach patch & slight scuff to one ear, some of the gilt is missing.

Please remember that Antique and Vintage items sometimes have signs of wear commensurate with age, it is part of their charm!
