Long Description
I have cleaned the dogs and the brown stuff is mostly gone, if anyone has an opinion of the dogs I would love to hear it!
Two Stafforshire Spaniels, the tallest is 12". Â The gold on the chains is worn. Â There are firing holes on the bottom and on the inside of the front legs. Â As you can see, they are not idenitcal, one dog's chin is lower and the paint strokes don't match. They are heavy, around 3 pounds each, one is slightly lighter than the other. Â The glaze on the bottom is the same as the rest of the dog. Â One front leg is not molded to the body.Â
Any information about the potter's mark and the age and value would be appreciated.Â
History
I bought these at an estate sale and the only information I got was that the owner had bought them at auction many years ago.
