Antique Seated Spaniel Figurine Early Red Clay Body Rockingham Glaze

Add a charming touch of primitive folk art to your collection with this antique redware spaniel dog figurine. Modeled in a folky, seated posture, this piece is crafted from a coarse red clay body that is beautifully finished in a deep, rich manganese-brown gloss glaze, often referred to as Rockingham or brown-glazed redware. The spaniel gazes forward with expressive, slightly naive eyes, and its form features textured details on the curly ears, and a simple collar with an incised circular medallion on its chest. The messy, partially glazed underside reveals the coarse red clay and shows an off-center vent hole, confirming its early production. It is in good antique condition, with minor, expected wear like crazing, superficial scuffs, and rough spots along the unglazed base rim, consistent with a piece of this age, adding to its authentic character. Perfect for a farmhouse mantel or primitive pottery display.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
