A matched pair of small russet and white spaniels.
These chunky dogs are made from a single press-mould with combined legs and tails. They wear gilded collars and locks and have yellow eyes. They are fairly well matched although their shades of russet are slightly different, as are the size of their spots.
The left hand figure has several shallow scuffs down to the clay body to the head and earns - some of these have been overpainted in russet to conceal them but a few others on the top of the head have been left. The right hand figure is in better condition with some scuffs around the rim of the base and some flaking to the russet.

Height: 5”
Date: c. 1850s
