The figure is wonderfully expressive, with deeply modeled flowing fur, large inset-looking eyes, a dark painted nose, and an endearing open mouth.

Finished in a creamy white glaze, the surface shows attractive age-related crazing, discoloration, and patina, which gives the piece an appealing antique character. The underside bears several impressed marks or seals, suggesting a studio or maker’s mark and possibly an Asian origin.

A wonderfully whimsical decorative piece with lots of personality—perfect for a collection of vintage dog figures, animal sculpture, or as a distinctive accent on a bookshelf or tabletop. See less
