Staffordshire dogs

Hi everyone!



I recently bought a pair of Staffordshire figures at a flea market and I’m trying to learn a bit more about them. Can anyone help me identify their age, origin, or any other interesting details? I’d really appreciate any information.



Thanks in advance!

 

That Staffordshire Ware Kent mark is post-1944. And that pottery stopped making earthenware figures in 1962 so... 1944-62. Still very collectible, despite not being the really old ones.

They came in different sizes, what size are yours?

 

A thread on a similar pair that may help, too:
