Animal Décor: Beswick Rough Collie Lochinvar of Ladypark Dog Figurine

Masterfully sculpted to capture absolute breed perfection, the piece depicts the legendary champion "Lochinvar of Ladypark" standing in a regal, alert show stance with a beautifully rendered thick, flowing coat. The figurine is slip-cast from heavy vitrified pottery, showcasing exceptionally crisp hand-painted underglaze details including a rich golden-sable saddle, stark white ruff collar, dark points around the eyes, and a bright glossy crystal-clear overglaze finish. This highly expressive, iconic canine study stands as a superb focal feature to ground floating kitchen shelving, retro mantelpiece groupings, or curio display cabinets with authentic historical warmth.

The historic John Beswick pottery, founded in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent in 1894, earned legendary global acclaim among collectors for producing highly naturalistic, anatomically perfect wildlife, livestock, and domestic animal portraits. This specific pedigree collie mold is a famous composition catalogued as Model 1791, originally modelled by the celebrated master designer Arthur Gredington and launched in 1961 to commemorate one of the most decorated show champions in British history. The unglazed underside of the front paw pads reveals the characteristic raw white earthenware body material, and the lower belly profile displays the original round firing gas vent hole alongside identical hollow release openings beneath all four hoof points, entirely classic for mid-century Stoke-on-Trent ceramic manufacturing.

Original Intended Use: Decorative fine china mantlepiece ornament. Alternate Suggested Use: Elegant tactile paperweight for a study desk, distinctive centrepiece accent for a retro gallery layout, or a high-interest focal object to ground floating book stacks.

Did you Know?

Beswick's principal modeller Arthur Gredington worked directly with breed societies and champion handlers to ensure every ceramic portrait perfectly matched strict kennel club standards. When Model 1791 was introduced in 1961, it immediately captured the global market because the artisan painters managed to perfectly replicate the feathered layers of the collie's long double coat using fluid mineral underglazes before the high-temperature kiln firing bonded the glass glaze coat forever.
