Staffordshire group of Greyhounds, c. 1860.

SOLD
Staffordshire pottery spill vase, Greyhounds, Thomas Parr factory, c. 1860. Finely modelled as two elegant Greyhounds, one standing, whilst the other lays recumbent, before a tree stump, and a fence. Both hounds wear gilt collars, and are painted in naturalistic tones. Set upon an oval grassy mound base.

Height – 27 cm, 10 5/8”.
Width – 20 cm, 7 7/8”.
Depth – 10 cm, 3 7/8”.

This is a much finer, relatively early example of the group. Later ones tend to be much more rounded, whereas, here the elegance of a Greyhound, is captured in the sharper modelling.

Condition: Excellent. No damage. No restoration.
