I have only 5 of the plates and saucers. They are all in really good condition with only one saucer with a tiny chip. I am very interested in the value of these plates & knowing some history on when they were made as I have searched for this design online & have never seen this design anywhere else.
A pair of white staffordshire dogs with attractive painted faces and gilding.
Small holes in bases and on backs. One has cracking, mostly up the back, both have some crazing.
Web reasearch suggests they may be genuine as they feature a seam, are not mirror images, have subtle colouration, no manufacturer's mark, and no chalky feel, and appear to be made of clay not porcelain.
These have been used as a display item for some time now as the leather fairly solid formed. Inside of boots have very good markings. The trees in the boots have no pivots and simply notch together. I have not found much information on the boots and these are the only pair I have ever found that look like this. From what I can find they are somewhere between 1850 and 1900.
Games table with square tiles that are "levered" out from a square inset on the top of the table. The squares are double sided. One draw for games pieces etc. After lifting out the two wooden "squares" the last is a green felt back gammon board.
