Dorothy Clough Signed Ceramic Poodle Powder Blue MCM British Studio Pottery VGC
A beautiful and characterful signed ceramic poodle by Dorothy Clough, one of those pieces that manages to be both decorative and quietly expressive. Modelled in a poised seated stance, the poodle lifts her head with gentle confidence, adorned with a pearl-style collar and medallion. The glaze is a soft powder blue, scattered with delicate floral dotting, giving the piece lightness and charm without fuss. The sculpting is refined, particularly in the curled ears and tail, and the proportions are spot on. The base is clearly signed Dorothy Clough, confirming authorship. A vent hole to the base is present, consistent with studio ceramic practice. This is a decorative studio piece rather than a mass-produced ornament, and it shows in the individuality of the modelling and glaze. Height approximately 15 cm. Condition is very good vintage, with only light age-related surface wear. No cracks or restoration observed. A genuinely delightful example of mid-century British ceramic animal sculpture. Elegant, knowing, and full of personality. The poet in me would say. She does not beg for attention. Pearls straight, chin lifted, a poodle who knows her worth and waits to be admired properly. #DorothyClough #SignedStudioPottery #VintagePoodle #MidCenturyCeramics #BritishStudioPottery #CeramicFigurine #Cabinet27 #DecorativeDog #ObjectsWithSoul.
