Extremely Rare Arthur Wood X-Large Royal Blue Staffordshire Spaniel Mantel Dogs
For your consideration are a scarce and rarely seen matched pair of vintage Staffordshire Spaniel mantel dogs by Arthur Wood in a solid deep royal blue glaze. A large and substantial set, the dogs stand approximately 11.5" in height, measure 9.5" in length, and 4 wide. The muzzle of the left facing dog has a small speck of glaze skipping that occurred during firing that measures roughly 1/32 in diameter, and light uniform crazing is beginning to form on each dog.
Neither of these imperfections are immediately noticeable or distracting. Otherwise the condition is exceptional with no chips, cracks, prior repairs, or other compromising imperfections found.
Wear is commensurate for age and history of gentle display use so please regard all of the photos as they form a descriptive part of the listing. A gorgeous heirloom quality pair who's size and exquisite coloring will make them the crown jewel of any collection.
