Pair of Staffordshire Dalmatian Quill Holders, Matched Set
This design for the matched set of Dalmatian quill holders was created in the 1860’s, however I believe these were produced in the twentieth century, possibly from a nineteenth century mold. They measure 4 7/8" across by 3 ½" tall and are in very good condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. They do have some crazing, but the crazed look shown in the photos is painted or stenciled on.
