Yes I am in the U.S.,,Texas to be exact !! Your dog is an Old English Bulldog !! It appears to be quite early,,turn of the century or before !! The bottom tells a lot about these things !! See how dark the foot is ?? That part is usually unglazed and will collect dust and dirt over the years !! The darker it is,,usually the earlier it is !!
If its not too much trouble,, let me suggest another forum that I am on www.antique-shop.com !! Its like one big family there and they have excellent researchers !! One of the members is in the UK and works with museums !! I would like him to take a look at this stand and get his opinion !! I still think this is an English made item !!
May have better pics as well !! But I will still keep looking either way !!
