Here is a sweet Staffordshire doggie, a King Charles chimney spaniel measuring 11 1/2 inches tall. Such figures were used in pairs to decorate the mantel. I do have a match to this; however, there are some differenes, so clearly they were not together at birth, so I will not offer them together. They came from similar molds, but the differences lie in the hand-painted embellishments. Different artists, slightly different techniques. One would think that such hollow ware items would survive unscathed because they were simply shelf pieces; however, more than often they have hairlines. Perhaps it is the shape which stresses the earthenware over time. This one has some on the back at the bottom as pictured. The muzzle and eyes look great. A bit of the orange coloration has loss, but it is minor. It is unmarked but is a genuine nineteenth century antique. What is it about thise spaniels that make them so lovable! I have family members who think they look evil. No taste!   This darling flatback figure features a young man and his beloved in an arbor setting. They pose together in an arbor, his hand resting on hers. Hand-painted embellishments highlight their faces and dress along with foliates and flowers from the garden. This figure dates to the 1850 - 80 period. It measures 4 1/2 inches tall. Condition is excellent - no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restorations.   Here is a large arbor figure, 13 inches tall. It features a young man and woman, possible the royal children. We would date this figure to the 1870 - 1890 period. The lady's and man's skin tones are shown in pale color. Hair and shoes are dark brown. The facial features are also painted, and there are overglaze gold embellishments. This beautiful figure has no chips, cracks, or hairlines. There is some crazing and a bit of wear to the overglaze gold.
