cf. Dennis G. Rice, Dogs in English Porcelain of the 19th century, colour plate 8 for the scratching dog. Dennis Rice acquired the figure of the greyhound bitch after publishing his book on the subject.

The tan coloured dog scratching has high quality restoration to the ends of each ear and to his tail, some occasional minor wear to the gilding.
The faun coloured bitch in recumbent pose has losses to the tips of each ear and also the left ear has been broken and reglued, no other restoration chips or cracks detected, very slight wear to the gilding. Please note the green printed factory mark is only on the latter figure.
