Bluesky was having problems with delivering images. I think it may be resolved.

Thank you.
Yes, that's true, it could have been worded a little differently.
That's a nice collection, do you also have other kinds of Staffordshire figures?
I have some dogs - all Spaniels as it happens!
Plus a few other bits and pieces.

A recent photograph of a large, imposing pair of antique, glass-eyed, Bo'ness pottery lions.
Also an illustration of that figure as it appeared in the book "Scottish Pottery" by J.Arnold Fleming. These rare, much sought-after, figures were first produced in the late 19th century.

Here's another recent photo of an antique, glass-eyed, Bo'ness pottery ceramic dog alongside the illustration of that figure as it appeared in the book "Scottish Pottery" by J.Arnold Fleming, which was first published in 1923, although the figures date much earlier.

This is a recent image of a rare antique, Bo'ness pottery earthenware parrot alongside the illustration of that figure as it first appeared in the book "Scottish Pottery" by J.Arnold Fleming, published in 1923.
The base of Bo'ness-made parrots is distinctive and helps greatly with identification.

The modelling is the same but they are clearly quite different in colouration!

This is an extract of the text from the book "Scottish Pottery" by J. Arnold Fleming, referring to the photographs of Bo'ness-made animal figures contained therein.
The section devoted to the history of the Bo'ness potteries is found on pages 185 to 192 of his book.

Here's a once popular Scottish poem by an unknown author dedicated to a ceramic "Wally Dug".
As you'll see, the Bo'ness-made pottery dog is sat on a mantel shelf with other ceramic family treasures.
It is by the way pronounced "WAH-lee dug"!
