Antique and Collectible Dogs in Ceramics by John Ainsley Ceramic Dogs 1 7 Antique and Collectible Dogs in Ceramics by John Ainsley Pair of Chinese porcelain In the last edition I looked at collectible cats in all mediums. Here because of the dogs, late 18th/early 19thC, sheer number on our Website Database I have restricted this selection from our lying with face turned, brown Website Database to just over a hundred, all from the ceramics category. Dogs, as fur details, chips to tail/paws, Pair of white glazed Pug collectible models, like cats are hugely popular and the best and the least common 9.8cm. (2) Sworders, Stansted dogs. Tring Market Auctions, will always hold their value and prove a good investment over time. This is Mountfitchet. Nov 05. HP: Herts. Jan 02. HP: £950. evidenced in the huge numbers which have been created by ceramics factories £3,600. ABP: £4,248. ABP: £1,121. around the world. Leading the way in this country and certainly in the twentieth century are the Royal Doulton and Beswick models but when collecting, these must 2 8 be chosen with care as the market has long since become flooded. In this selection I have illustrated some of the less common models. The commonest of all dog models are those described as ‘Staffordshire’ and these have been produced from the Georgian period and then continuously reproduced into Rare pair of Victorian modern times. The term is generic and whilst there are plenty of real Staffordshire Staffordshire spaniels, rust colouring, seated on hollow examples in the twenty five lots shown here their origins can range from across bases, primitive malachite- Europe and as far as China. The best and earliest examples can fetch several effect, 7.75in. Gorringes, thousand pounds, at 2, through to the later and more ubiquitous examples appearing Lewes. Apr 07. HP: £2,100. 19thC Austrian earthenware towards the end of the samples. Incidentally, whilst Chinese ‘Staffordshire’ is ABP: £2,478. seated Staffordshire bull relatively worthless, real Chinese dogs are valuable, along with most other Chinese terrier, open mouth, glass ceramics in the current market. See 1. Just as rare, is the signed Gallé dog at 3 and at eyes (some restoration), 3 21.5in. Gorringes, Lewes. Dec £2,360 has fetched more than the more common Gallé or ‘Gallé’ cats which can be 06. HP: £950. ABP: £1,121. found with relative ease. Here also are plenty of Royal Doulton and Beswick 9 examples. At 5 the Doulton bull terrier isn’t identified but going by the price I suspect it is HN 1144. At 9 the Beswick labrador is precisely identified and has done very well against a book price of £750. And so has Duchess with flowers at 10. Personally how anyone can pay over a £1,000 for such a dreadfully modelled dog is beyond me. A few years ago two competing women at Brettell’s auction in Newport, Gallé faience figure of a I believe in 2005, between them raised a Duchess to an astonishing £2,900 hammer bulldog, c1900, body painted Beswick labrador, walking, and with premium this added up to a massive £3,411! The loser ended up the winner with flowers & blue ribbons, brown, 3062B, gloss, boxed. glass eyes, signed E Gallé, (BCC 1993, Ltd Edn of 93) in this absurd head to head and this example should stand out as a lesson to us all. Nancy, front paw damaged. Charterhouse, Sherborne. Sep Both actually lost their heads but the underbidder got away with it. By the way there Sworders, Stansted 09. HP: £900. ABP: £1,062. is a similar model, Duchess with Pie, worth far, far less so don’t get confused! Far Mountfitchet. Feb 07. HP: more serious in terms of quality and modelling are the range of other dogs from 6 £2,000. ABP: £2,360. The prices quoted are actual through to say 15 and including Royal Copenhagen, Austrian, Meissen, Royal Hammer Prices (HP) followed by the Approximate Worcester and Royal Dux in the price range of about £1,400 down to about £800. Buyer’s Price (ABP) which Much less common are the dog’s head models which often double up by 4 includes an average buyer’s functioning as either stirrup cups or whistles. These are nearly always porcelain. The premium of 15% + VAT. Copeland and Garrett model at 16 fetched £650 in 2003, but I would suggest this was a good investment because of its quality and rarity. There is another porcelain example at 21 which is unidentified and cracked but still got near to £500. I suspect that the buyer had identified the factory. At 34 are two Royal Worcester dog’s head porcelain whistles. I am surprised at the £300 price but Royal Worcester examples Unusual Staffordshire King are not uncommon. Dog’s head Staffordshire window rests are thin on the ground Charles spaniel, 19thC, 21cm. Woolley & Wallis, 10 and the pair at 52 fetched a modest £188 in 2008 although they were a/f. For a final Salisbury. Mar 00. HP: example see a further Staffordshire porcelain dog whistle at 72 and just over a £100, £1,200. ABP: £1,416. which was far too low but of course this is an auction price. Providing the condition Beswick Beatrix Potter figure, is good this should sell at retail for £300-£400. Collecting should be about seeking 5 Duchess 1355, style one, black the unusual and the uncommon. What is the point of collecting something if you can dog holding bunch of flowers, fill every space in your home within a few years Rare dog models, which also have a designed by Graham Orwell, novelty function are highly collectible and one could hardly expect to build a very BP2, 3.75in high. Halls Fine large collection even in a lifetime, unless ones resources are unlimited. This is Art, Shrewsbury. Jul 05. HP: exactly as it should be. Collecting should be about seeking out the worthwhile, not £900. ABP: £1,062. the worthless. Royal Doulton bull terrier. Louis Taylor, Stoke. Sep 01. At 22, 24 and 51 are three examples of Royal Doulton Union Jack bulldogs, which HP: £1,150. ABP: £1,357. 11 always seem to fetch about £400-£500. Good value I think. I can’t say the same for the Beswick Dulux sheep dogs. There is one included at 30 and about £300 seems to be par for the course but I wouldn’t give one house room. At 40 and 41 the Crown 6 Devon and Mintons models, at about £250 each should have done better. I would have liked to know more about the French faience example at 74. This free standing 19thC Meissen model, seated model looks good and could have age to it so why did it fetch less than £100? Maltese terrier scratching his chin, incised No.335, 7.75in, Similarly the free standing Herend example at 71 looks to have quality and a certain Royal Copenhagen bulldog, and another similar model in wow factor if I may be excused the pun. Why did it fetch only a £118? See also the printed marks, No. 778, grey/white, 7.75in. (restored French porcelain pug at 79. Finally I am surprised at the pair of Denby dogs at 99, 30cm. Sworders, Stansted front legs) Gorringes, which do not look at all like the run of the mill ‘Byngo’ types which fetch about £30- Mountfitchet. Feb 07. HP: Bexhill. Mar 02. HP: £900. £50.

  • Companies Referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection
    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.
