Offered in this sale is a scarce antique 19th century miniature Staffordshire pottery - porcelain boxer dog form whistle. It measures roughly 2 3/4" tall x 1 1/8" wide. It has a hole in the top and a slatted piece inserted into the interior of the base, however, I have not been able to get it to actually "whistle" when you blow into it. Other than the fact that it doesn't make noise when you blow into it, the condition is excellent. There are no chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines or restoration. This is a scarce early piece.
Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.
I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is .50.
