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
