This sassy miss came home
with me from a recent estate sale.
It was love at first sight for me.
She is a Staffordshire
begging spaniel jug or pitcher.
I'm not certain about her pedigree,
though I feel certain she is definitely vintage.
Perhaps a vintage reproduction.
What matters most is she is black and white
and the perfect companion to this gentlemen
who I've had for several years.
He too is a black and white begging spaniel
jug or pitcher with a tricorn hat.
Don't they
make the perfect pair?
I think perhaps Mister is of newer vintage,
but that's OK, he fits right in with
all of the Courtly Checks around the house.
He was a thrifty find at Goodwill some years ago.
They could easily be
parents to these two sweet pups.
Yes, I feel as if
a family has been reunited!
They are currently part of a vignette
on the dining room buffet.
I gathered a group of
Courtly Check pieces and filled
them with summer hydrangeas.
Along with a piece of
figurative art by a favorite NY artist.
Tell me! Do you have a fondness for
these Staffordshire dogs?
Are you a fan of black and white?
