Large Pair Staffordshire white & gilt spaniels

Victorian, circa 1860. Tallest is 15.6ins high, 10.2ins wide, 5.1ins depth. Pair of Staffordshire figures which feature a spaniel, seated directly on the ground, no base. We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they have significantly different crazing. White and gilt version. Dull gilt collar and locket.











Decorated 'in the round' - decoration to front and reverse. Vent hole to the reverse.





Book reference not found.
