Fabulous rare 1950s dog figurine
Italian art pottery at Mid-Century finest
Most certainly by GUIDO CACCIAPUOTI, Capodimonte
SEATED TERRIER WITH BONE
Not commonly found
I cannot help but show photos of the facial expression - eyes and mouth are particularly wonderful, as are the ears and twisted tail
Overall good vintage condition - I believe there are a couple of missing strands of hair on the beard and nicks to underside of ear tips (I have shown in close-up photos) but there is no other damage noted
Measures 6"/ 15.5 cm long and 5 1/2" / 14 cm tall
Marked as shown on base with A56 and ITALY handpainted in black
Please ignore all white spots caused by camera flash
What a great addition to your dog collection or that perfect gift for the terrier owner
Please examine all photos to make your own determination of condition
