Pair of antique Staffordshire, King Charles spaniel black-and-white dogs, circa 1850. These are both slightly different from each other as they were original Staffordshire dogs. Hand painted Staffordshire dogs were modeled after Queen Victoria‘s beloved King Charles, Dash. As with most early Staffordshire, there is not a makers mark, and they have the small firing Cole of original antique versions, not the dime sized casting hole of reproductions. Lightweight, raising, usual tight, firing, hairlines. In beautiful shape.
