A Lowestoft model of a pug dog, circa 1770

Left in the white, modelled seated on a rectangular base with its head turned to the right, its collar secured with a rosette, 9.1cm high

Footnotes

Most examples of this rare model are decorated with patches of manganese or enamelled in a more naturalistic style. A pair of manganese pugs is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.130, pl.161. Although initially attributed to Longton Hall, corresponding fragments recovered from the Lowestoft factory site in 1967 suggested otherwise. The highly phosphatic body disproves a Staffordshire origin in any case. For further discussion see John Howell, Lowestoft Manganese-Decorated Animals, ECC Trans, Vol.13, Pt.3 (1989), pp.183-4 and pls.167-9.
