A rare, unusual and desirable group figure depicting three poodles around a clock face on an arched base.
Two poodles sit facing outwards on either side of the clock face and the other stands on all fours above it. Some floral motifs surround the clock which is set into a yellow and brown background. The base is arched and lined with gilt.
This fashionable figure is nicely made and offered in very good condition. There are some areas where the glaze has not fully covered the figure but this does not affect the aesthetic appeal or quality of the group. There is a firing flaw around the right back leg of the standing poodle. The figure is complete and in lovely original condition.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Dogs, p. 110, fig. 2742
Height: 8.25”
Date: c. 1860
Provenance: A substantial, high-quality private collection, name unknown
