You are purchasing an awesome vintage ceramic ashtray/trinket dish of a dog eying a fire hydrant. I believe the this was a made in Japan by Tilso. Please note there is a diagonal crack that has been repaired, see the last 2 photos. The repair was done very well and the crack is barely seen from above, see photo 17. The back two legs of the dog may have also been broken and repaired, see photos 6 & 14. There is a rough spot on the front edge which may be a chip, see photo 5. There is also some mild paint wear, mainly on the fire hydrant. That all said, it displays very well and is such a cool vintage piece. It measures approximately 3 1/8" high x 5" long x 3 3/4" wide. This would make a fun, whimsical, kitschy addition to your decor or ashtray collection. Please contact me prior to purchasing with any questions. |
