Discover a truly rare find with this exceptional pair of Staffordshire Dogs, beautifully hand-painted and standing on a grassy base with their mouths open and tongues out. These striking figures resemble the elegant red and white setter breed, making them particularly unique among Staffordshire pottery. While the exact production date is unknown, these may be reproductions or original Victorian pieces. Their rarity is undeniable, particularly because both dogs are standing on a grassy base and are of a setter breed—a striking difference from the more common spaniel type typically seen in Staffordshire Dogs.
Each dog is adorned with a gold collar, adding a touch of refinement to their charming appearance. Although there are a few tiny spots where the paint has slightly faded and a small chip on the back of one dog, these minor imperfections are barely noticeable and do not detract from their overall appeal. This pair is a perfect addition for collectors or anyone seeking a standout piece of British ceramic artistry.
