A 19th-century English Staffordshire spaniel dog, hand-painted with traditional detailing and historic charm.
Our Staffordshire ceramic spaniel, seated with tail in the front, is hand painted with a pretty and detailed muzzle, arched eye brows , and nicely feathered russet markings. The soft golden locket has a warm glow, typical of older Staffordshire pieces. A very dignified fellow, Staffordshire spaniels were the quintessential English mantel decoration - "comforter dogs" - inspired by Queen Victoria's beloved dog, Dash.
