Unidentified Nottingham pottery (Probably)
Brown stoneware decorated with applied shredded clay, and white clay, and salt-glazed. Made in the form of a bear sitting up on its haunches and hugging a small dog with its forepaws. The detachable head forms a cup. The surface, except for the face and paws, and the figure of the dog, is coated with rough shreds of clay to indicate fur. The bear wears a muzzle, and this, together with the eyes, teeth, and chain of five links passing through the nose, is rendered by applied strips of white clay.
