Matched Pair Staffordshire black & white spaniels

Victorian, circa 1860. Tallest is 10ins high, 6.3ins wide, 4.1ins depth. Pair of Staffordshire figures which feature black and white spaniels, seated directly on the ground, no base. We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they have significantly different markings. Black and white version.

Maker's marks no.2 molded into the underside of one only.
