Excellent Pair 19th Century STAFFORDSHIRE White Maltese Spaniel DOGS Antique

  
Excellent separate front legs, each has their outer paw lifted off the ground (photographed). The lifted paws both appear to be hand molded and added to the figure in the green state after the clay figure was removed from the mold prior to kiln firing. This was extra work, however overcame the need for a more complicated mold. The pair are authentic 19th Century Staffordshire figures from a large private collection of old Staffordshire figures. Some old stickers on the bottom. They are heavy for their size. Size : 6.5 tall x 6 long x 2.75 deep. Fine condition for age, free of chips, cracks, and repairs. The right side dogs lifted paw has kiln shrinkage lines at the body joint. We closely inspected with a black light and found no evidence of repairs, the kiln shrinkage is an original minor factory flaw associated with the molding process discussed above (in the description). Both gilt lock & chains have some rubbing loss. They have some enamel loss around noses. They have typical light light glaze crazing.

These are in great shape! As always due to age may have slight imperfections such as minor scuffs, scratches, trim wear, and/or slight manufacturing defects.
