Quite delightful ! This diminutive Pair of Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Staffordshire Pottery Miniature Poodles, each clasping a basket of flowers in it's mouth, stand upon pink, rather than the more commonly found, cobalt blue bases. Most unusual ! Unmarked, but here attributed to James Dudson, of Hope Street, Hanley, Staffordshire, { 1838 - 1882 }. For comparison, see an almost identical pair of poodles illustrated in the article, "Dudson ~ A Family of Potters Since 1800", by Audrey Dudson, { Antique Collecting ~ May 2002 ~ Fig. 3 ~ Page 37 ~ Our Stock Ref. AC371M2002-XX }. In a List of Figures compiled from orders in an original Dudson ledger for the period 1842 - 44, such poodles are priced at 2/6 a dozen ! { See Appendix A ~ "Dudson Staffordshire Figures c. 1815 - c. 1865" ~ Audrey Dudson & Alison Morgan ~ 2006 }.
