Description
Large and striking vintage ceramic Afghan Hound dog figurine, modelled in a seated pose with the breed’s distinctive long coat and elegant features.
The figure measures approximately 16 inches (40 cm) tall × 12 inches (30 cm) wide, making it a substantial display piece.
Finished in a glossy cream/white glaze with hand-painted brown, grey and black detailing. Particularly nice details include the expressive eyes, elongated muzzle, individually modelled coat and painted paws.
Condition: Good vintage condition overall, but there is a hairline crack around one of the front legs/paws, clearly shown in the photographs. There is a chip on the side of the head. There are also some minor marks and signs of age/use. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.
There appears to be a faint maker’s mark on the underside, which says "Made in Italy".
An unusual and decorative piece that would suit an Afghan Hound owner or collector, vintage dog figurine collection, or as a statement decorative ornament.
