This delightful folk-art piece features a whimsical narrative scene depicting a young girl riding side-saddle atop a large, majestic spaniel. The spaniel features classic hand-painted iron-red/rust markings and uniquely holds a woven basket brimming with colorful, molded flowers in its mouth. The female figure is beautifully modeled in a crisp white dress with delicate floral detailing along the hem, accented by a molded yellow bonnet resting behind her on the dog's back. The entire scene is anchored to a richly textured, moss-green molded base.

True to authentic Victorian Staffordshire pottery, this piece features the characteristic unglazed back designed to sit flush against a mantle or wall, along with small glaze pops and fine, uniform crazing that confirms its age and antique pedigree. A beautiful statement piece for traditional, grandmillennial, or eclectic interiors, perfect for a mantle, bookshelf, or entry table display.

The figurine measures 8.5 inches wide, 10 inches tall and 3 inches deep. No maker's mark.
