Whippets These tall whippets are the most graceful of all, from the Thomas Parr pottery c. 1855. 12" tall they are $2200. If you could use a pair made into lamps, they can be on sale for $1950 ! I've got a great collection of greyhounds and whippets, all colors including black and white, recumbent and standing.....just ask for photos.

Newfoundlands These Newfoundlands with Royal kids in Scottish dress ($1800 for the pair) are based on one of Sir Edwin Landseer's paintings. Landseer summered with the Royal Family at Balmoral and his paintings provided a rich trove of source material for the potters' figures, for needlepoints and other art forms of the period. 10". |
Royal Children Pair of Royal Children on recumbent spaniels came in white, cobalt blue and, rarest, pink bases. White is $950, cobalt blue $1150, and the rarest, pink bases are $1550. These figures are 6 1/2 inches wide, 6" tall, c.1855.

Pugs Even the tallest pugs come in pairs but display well as singles. The ten inch pair of seated pugs is $1100 as are the pair of free standing ones 6 1/2 inches tall. The huge one at the rear is $850. Pugs were manufactured about 20 years after spaniels. Queen Victoria was given a pug by a son-in-law and a photo appeared in the news; two weeks later pugs were everywhere. |
Basket Dogs Basket dogs, black and white, with Disraeli curls are quite expensive, more than $1000 for a pair. My red and white basket dogs, 8 inches tall, are $900, and I have a pair of white 7 1/2 inch ones on sale for $600. All 1860. |
Greyhounds These greyhounds have holes in the front of the base to hold your quills. The bases are flower encrusted ink wells. In white, also in cobalt, with real gold trim, nice for a His and Her partner desk. $300 for each piece. |
