19th-C. English Staffordshire 9" King Charles Spaniel Dogs
This exquisite pair of 19th-century English Staffordshire spaniels is rendered in crisp white glaze, a timeless and sought-after variation on the classic King Charles form. Hand-molded with flowing fur detail and soft facial features, these elegant figures capture the quiet refinement of Victorian mantel decor. Inspired by Queen Victoria’s cherished spaniel Dash, Staffordshire dogs became beloved fixtures in English homes during the 1800s. Most were produced by small regional potteries, and like this pair, are typically unmarked. Light wear and subtle factory flaws speak to their handmade origins. A graceful and rarefied addition to any English ceramic collection.
