Staffordshire dog figurines are matching pairs of pottery spaniel dogs, standing guard, which were habitually placed on mantelpieces in 19th-century homes. Mainly manufactured in Staffordshire pottery, these earthenware figures were also made in other English counties and in Scotland. They are also known as hearth spaniels or fireplace dogs as they were positioned on top of the mantelpiece.Many other breeds were produced, particularly the greyhound, though the spaniels were especially popular and this is attributed to royalty favouring the King Charles Spaniel breed. In Scotland, they were colloquially termed Wally dugs and were manufactured in bulk at potteries in places such as Pollokshaws in Glasgow and Portobello near Edinburgh.

In Scotland, they were colloquially termed Wally dugs and were manufactured in bulk at potteries in places such as Pollokshaws in Glasgow and Portobello near Edinburgh. Though the most popular, the dogs were only one of many types of Staffordshire figures; other animals and human figures of various kinds were also popular. (en)
  • Staffordshire-honden zijn figurines van passende paartjes spaniëlhonden die op wacht staan. Zij waren te vinden in 19e-eeuwse huizen. Ze werden voornamelijk gemaakt in pottenbakkerijen in Staffordshire en men noemde ze ook wel haard spaniëlhonden of (open)haard honden, omdat ze op schoorsteenmantels werden geplaatst. De spaniël honden, gedecoreerd met een gouden ketting en medaillon, zaten in paren. Ze waren een typisch, Victoriaans bourgeois ornamentaal status-symbool: geen schoorsteenmantel was compleet zonder een paar spaniëls die op wacht stonden. De hondjes werden ook wel in de vensterbank geplaatst. De kwaliteit van de modellen en het verfwerk van de Staffordshire-hondjes varieert. Tegen het einde van de 19e eeuw, nam de populariteit van de figuurtjes toe, terwijl de kwaliteit achteruit ging. Er werden er duizenden geproduceerd, maar originelen in goede conditie en in het juiste paar zijn tegenwoordig schaars te vinden. De figuurtjes werden tot de jaren 1920 gemaakt en de eerdere modellen waren van betere kwaliteit. Omdat de spaniëls handgeschilderd waren, verschilden alle figuurtjes van elkaar. In Nederland stonden ze in van veel vissersvrouwen. De mannen brachten ze mee wanneer ze hadden gevist onder de kust van Engeland. Jongens namen ze mee voor hun moeder. De hondjes werden ook wel hoerenhondjes genoemd. Ze zouden in Engeland in de vensterbank van prostituees hebben gestaan. (nl)
