This large-scale porcelain figurine, Model No. 2271, represents a significant moment in English pottery history—the 1969 transition when the renowned Beswick brand was acquired by Royal Doulton.
The Beswick & Royal Doulton Connection:
Designed by the celebrated artist Graham Tongue, this exact mold was later rebranded and sold under the Royal Doulton name as Model DA85. Because this piece carries the original "Beswick England" backstamp from the early years of the merger, it is a particularly sought-after example for collectors who value the heritage of both prestigious marques.
Standing an impressive 14 inches tall, this "Fireside" statue features the breed's signature alert expression and meticulously hand-painted spots under a high-gloss glaze. Its substantial size and classic silhouette make it a perfect statement piece for a hearth, entryway, or library. See less
