Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic vintage miniature Staffordshire spaniel dog figurine made by the renowned William Kent potteries in England. This charming "mantel dog" features a white crackle-glazed body adorned with hand-painted gold and brown spots, a brown collar with a gold lock accent, and sits elegantly atop a striking, glossy cobalt blue cushion base.The underside clearly displays the authentic printed green circular "Staffordshire Ware Kent Made in England" makers mark surrounding the iconic Staffordshire knot. It also features the original circular kiln firing hole.Perfect for collectors of classic English pottery, Grandmillennial home decor, or as a replacement piece to complete a mirrored fireplace set!
There are no visible structural chips, cracks, or repairs to the ceramic body or the base.
There is heavy, uniform glaze crazing (the fine web of hairline surface lines) across the entire white body of the dog. This is an expected characteristic of the glaze composition used by William Kent during this era and adds to its authentic antique aesthetic.
The hand-painted brown spots and gold highlights remain distinct, with only minor, expected age-related thinning to the gold trim line wrapping around the blue base.
