These are rare examples of genuine 19th century recumbent Staffordshire pottery dogs.
The upper pearlware figure is a setter, made in an Enoch Wood factory, c1820.
It is a little over 6 inches in length.
The lower, large spaniel, on a cushion, is 13 inches long and has been dated c1875.

You never know some might be enthusiastic wally dog collectors... though I suppose that's a little doubtful.
Oh, thank you, I'd be grateful for any additional followers, my numbers aren't too impressive.... it is a rather niche interest.

I only have one book at present showing a few animal figures...
"Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1875-1962".
Although I do have another book ordered which may be helpful.
Yes, that would be an idea. Perhaps post photos on your account with a short description, and I could repost them?

There seem to be many variations of greyhounds and whippets, not to mention the other breeds.
I wonder how many different Staffordshire pottery dog figures exist. It may take me some time to upload photographs of them all here!

Harding’s book "Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1875-1962" claims post-1875 ceramic figures attached glass eyes "similar to those used on teddy bears of the period".
Of course "teddy bears" did not exist until 1902.
Anachronisms aside, today such eyes make excellent replacements.

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"!

This Gebrüder Heubach dog is a bisque figurine produced in Thuringia, Germany, in the early 20th century.
Comparison of the images of all four dogs highlights the need for caution in the attribution of antique ceramic animal figures.

Interestingly, this dog, with obvious similarities to the previous pair, is a product of a Scottish pottery.
It could be described as "Staffordshire style".
Made by J. & M.P. Bell & Co.Ltd., the maker’s mark indicates it is from the late 19th or early 20th century.
