Staffordshire Doggies with a special meaning..
The stuck-up, old-fashioned image of the porcelain dogs above is deceptive. The figurines with which the English middle class decorated their houses in the 19th century were also 'whore dogs'. Among the prudish queen Victoria, prostitutes could only secretly offer their services by selling the figurines. Their body was included in the transaction. The figurines were also behind the windows of their houses. If the dogs snout pointed inward, then the lady had a customer. If the snout was pointing outwards, then you could go inside.
