However, the reason I was surprised is because I own a matching example that I purchased as part of a group lot at auction in New England some time ago, although I was never certain of where it was made. But it did remind me of other objects made in this part of the country, such as some of the molded whippets made by the Bell family in the Shenandoah Valley (see below for an example), as well as somewhat of a less refined nineteenth century stoneware reclining dog doorstop made at the Jane Lew Pottery in West Virginia.
