A Pair of Staffordshire Pottery Disraeli Greyhounds - circa 1845
Undoubtably one of the finest pairs of
Staffordshire Greyhounds/Dogs/Animals produced.
Nearly all the Staffordshire "Long Dogs" are indeed Greyhounds.
Often referred to as Whippets, no - the king of dogs in Victorian times
was the Greyhound. Coursing was hugely popular and the
Champion dogs were celebrities.
A big and beautiful pair of Staffordshire Greyhounds,
made by the "Disraeli" factory.
These dogs are rare and desireable
with wonderful modelling and excellent quality.
There is restoration to
a paw, ears, small chip in the base
and to the enamels of the flowers on the base.
Height: 8 inches Length: 10.5 inches
