{"product_id":"large-antique-staffordshire-basket-dog-rva03682","title":"c. 1850s English Victorian King Charles Spaniel Basket Dog","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"363\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eThese English Victorian King Charles “Basket” Dogs are among the most sought after — and rarest — forms within Staffordshire production. Modeled with elongated bodies and beautifully detailed fur, this example holds a delicately painted basket of flowers at its mouth, a charming and symbolic motif associated with devotion and domestic virtue. Large examples of this form are uncommon; to find one is rare. The creamy glaze, expressive wide-set eyes, and softly modeled features give it remarkable personality — the kind of piece that quietly anchors a mantel, entry table, or library shelf and instantly elevates a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"363\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eStaffordshire dogs are what started one of our lifelong obsessions. Their popularity traces directly to Queen Victoria’s devotion to her beloved spaniel, Dash, helping cement these figures as symbols of loyalty and refinement on Victorian mantelpieces. They remain one of our favorite things to hunt for in our travels, each pair with its own character and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra: Mid 19th Century\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good Antique Condition; Traditional surface crazing consistent with Victorian Staffordshire manufacture is present, along with minor firing nuances inherent to 19th-century production.
