A Scarce Staffordshire Pottery Dog with Red overglaze decoration which continues on the rear. The pearlware-glazed dog is decorated with best (fired) gold gilded decoration to the chain & collar. The eyes, mouth and nose are painted in black, yellow and pink overglaze enamel colours. The dog is very well moulded, the fur detail is deep and it has carefully applied facial features. Date of production is circa 1850 (ref.1).
