Auction Date: August 22, 2020
Sold for: $300
Lot: 46
Bennington, Vermont.
Circa 1875.
Modelled sanding on rectangular stepped bases, each with an opposing front paw on a ball, tails curled up and over their backs, tongues prominent among their broad manes.
Unmarked. One with what is possibly an old accession number typewritten on cello-tape, now long gone, but the residual number 779B is present to the underside of the base.
10 H. x 12 3/4 W. x 5 3/4 D., the taller. The smaller 9 7/8 H. x 13 W. x 5 3/4 D.
Very good condition. No chips or crack observed. The treacle glaze is typically splotchy toward the bases, with uneven coverage of the surface, as manufactured.
