(lot of 4) English Victorian Staffordshire mantel dogs, late 19th c., comprising two pairs, each modeled as a seated spaniel with painted features, including: (pair) with inset glass eyes, remnants of parcel-gilt decoration, approx 10"h, 4"w, 6.5"d; (pair) copper luster decoration, approx 9.25"h, 5.25"w, 7"d; 8.75lbs total

10/26/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT: 2424- the four figures are overall intact and stand stable, all exhibit overall crazing to the glaze, along with scattered small firing and surface imperfections, abrasions, and some pitting consistent with age and manufacture, painted decoration shows scattered rubs, small abrasions, minor losses and general wear, one figure exhibits an area of hairline/loss? along the base edge, with an associated stable hairline extending along the underside and branching partially upward into the lower back/body, I am sorry, I cannot determine with certainty whether there have been areas of painted touchup, later decoration or restoration, I am also unable to confirm whether the applied/glass eyes are original to the figures, overall the group presents well with wear, small losses and imperfections commensurate with age, material, and display
