A delightful pair of vintage hand painted ceramic wall pockets featuring two classic sporting dogs — an Irish Setterand an English Setter — beautifully rendered in raised relief against soft pastoral backgrounds.
Each wall pocket depicts a setter in the field mid-hunt, capturing the elegance and athletic grace these beloved sporting breeds are known for. The sculptural detailing and hand-painted coloration bring the dogs to life, while the softly shaded landscape scenes evoke the romance of traditional field sport.
Designed to hang on the wall, these charming pockets make wonderful decorative accents and are ideal for holding small florals, greenery, or dried botanicals. Their sporting subject matter makes them particularly appealing for English country interiors, hunting lodge décor, and Ralph Lauren–inspired spaces.
Pieces like these were popular mid-century decorative imports and remain highly collectible today among dog lovers and sporting décor enthusiasts.
