A Staffordshire Pottery Spaniel Dog with separately moulded front leg. The dog is decorated with patches of blue/green underglaze colour. The underglaze colour is then covered with a soft pink/gold lustre (very similar to Sunderland lustre) resulting in a copper lustre finish.

Date of manufacture is circa 1880 (ref 1&2).
