Description

This delightful pair of porcelain Staffordshire Spaniels are made by one of the few known Staffordshire Potters, Samuel Alcock. Alcock impressed each of his figurines with a no. The male dog is impressed with either 16 or 91 and the female with 121. There has apparently been some restoration to their bases.

declaration

condition

As I have already mentioned there has apparently been some restoration to their bases. The female spaniel does have some paint loss on the patch of her upper leg, there is also a mark on her back by her tail, but this does not feel like a crack. Her base does not sit entirely flat on the surface. The male dog has a firing fault to the top of his head and slight wear to the paint around his muzzle and one eye.
