A beautiful pair of late Edwardian, early 20th century, Staffordshire poodles with as perfect as can be, coleslaw decoration.
"Coleslaw" was applied before firing... very small shards of wet pottery, that after firing, became what appeared to be curly fur on the poodles. Many times, accidental tapping against other pieces of porcelain will cause some of the coleslaw to chip off. As can be seen in the photographs, the coleslaw decoration on these poodles is to my eyes, perfect.<...br>
Both have a number 30 printed or written on the bottom of them, one has a partial stamp "Made in England" in red.
They measure about 4 in tall by 2.25 in wide by 1 inch deep. These little fellows come from my late mother's personal collection, which she, my boys, and I traveled to antique shows, & shops around Madison, Indiana for many years.I hope they find a loving home like hers.
