[QUOTE="Nondisszyblonde, post: 190187, member: 3484"]My my mum loves Staffordshire dogs and always talks about the pair her gran had. Came across this mini pair, about 10cm high, in a charity shop and bought them as fun Xmas pressie. Now are they genuine (doubtful), 20th century copy (happy with that), or Chinese fake? I have probably read all the relevant articles now, including the ones recommended in other threads, and I have come to the conclusion they are not genuine : 1. Looking at the bottom the big hold from a slip cast mould appears to have been filled in and then glazed over with a small hole added for the firing. 2. The rim has a chalky finish. 3. The painting is pretty splodgy. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks [IMG]https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15171087_10154731406141972_7204121821638667859_n.jpg?oh=ffb6d89ffcf7d7286f766b16f0b6dcae&oe=5888E330[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15170912_10154731406351972_1607147602419252047_n.jpg?oh=46b59bf53d4f4ab37d8ff6ef5919e534&oe=58BAD14A[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14956573_10154731406356972_2202083648289248367_n.jpg?oh=6a93d45175eca44757f8af8c69f9fbb0&oe=588B46E3[/IMG][/QUOTE]
