Another look at Dogs in Majolica

We did a post on dog themed majolica quite some time ago. Not too long ago we took a second look at cat themed majolica. I thought it may be the right time to give man's best friend a second look as well.

Here are some dog pieces we didn't include last time. Let's start with the English potteries.
