Description: FREE POSTAGE IN THE UK Lovely pair of antique, Victorian, Staffordshire, fireside or mantelpiece, dogs, in copper lustre No-one knows who made the first Staffordshire dog but the inspiration was undoubtedly a celebrity. Queen Victoria's closet childhood companion was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Dash. Dash's portrait by Landseer became a popular print and is generally regarded as the model for the pottery figures that soon became 'a must have' in every fashionable, Victorian household There is a crack around the back paw of the right-hand dog. It does not go across the base, however, and is no danger of breakage (pictures 10-12). It is not noticeable from the front. There is some crazing. No chips. Very little wear to the paint/lustre. Please examine photos carefully as these are part of the condition description Height: 23.2cm & 23.5cmWeight: 981g & 982g
