Antique Jackfield Black Staffordshire Spaniel Right Facing Mantle Dog, Rare sz 5

Description

For you to consider is an antique right facing Jackfield Black Staffordshire Spaniel mantle dog figurine. With an absolutely stunning jet black glaze and deep blue eyes, this little guy is a rarity in color AND size. Most Jackfield spaniels are larger in size (its quite rare to see them smaller than 10”). Standing proudly at a height of 6”, this fellow is approximately 5” in length, 2.5” wide, and has the number “5” embossed at the base to indicate size. There are a couple of small kiln blisters seen to the back of the spaniel, present since he was created, are completely stable and should cause no issue. A repair to an apparent break has been done on the lower left side at the tail, where a small piece has been reattached. This appears to have been a clean fracture that is not immediately noticed or distracting from the front, but is visible and noticed to the rear of the figurine if you're looking for it. Otherwise, the spaniel is in beautiful condition with no other chips, cracks, crazing, or compromising imperfections. Please review the photos as they are a descriptive part of the listing. Perhaps the smallest Jackfield we’ve seen, this charming little fellow is sure to be a welcome addition to your collection!
