Miniature Staffordshire flatback model of two spaniels and a barrel, second half C19th

This is a charming model of two spaniels, one sitting on a barrel, with a stylised garden ground below. The modelling is slightly impressionistic and the earthenware body is applied with an all over cream coloured glaze with a slight craquelure effect decorated with brightly coloured enamels fairly coarsely painted. All this is typical of the so called ‘Staffordshire’ figures produced in England in the nineteenth century which enjoyed huge popularity and were to be found in many homes. Various small potteries made these wares and not only ones based in Staffordshire; they are not marked but the style is consistent and instantly recognisable. Many of the pieces, both people and animals, were designed as shelf or mantelpiece ornaments and were therefore made with a flat back, hence the descriptive term. The model here exists in both a full size and miniature form, usually with the same decorative elements. The smaller scale only adds to the charm and this pair of dogs could find a home in a modern setting just as easily as they did in a Victorian one.
