This Italian Majolica
Whippet Greyhound Dog Ceramic Pottery Statue is a beautiful piece of art that
will enhance any home. Its glossy finish, classical style, and extremely detailed
production make it an exceptional piece of statuary. The detailed musculature of
the dog and features like the fine collar he is wearing really add to the
overall look. The piece is made of high-quality ceramic and measures 13 inches
in height, 8.25 inches in length & 6 inches in width. Its white color and
Italian theme, along with the Greyhound subject, add to its charm.
I believe (from similar
ones I have seen) this statue was produced at a pottery in Italy using a cast
mold technique. There is a mark on the base but I don’t think it’s a signature,
I think it is a production mark of some kind. It weighs 8.5 pounds and will
make a perfect addition to any pottery and glass collection or just a great
piece for the home or garden, especially for a dog lover. No chips, cracks or
damage of any kind.
