Cute Dachshund mother with her five puppies attached to her with chain.  Made of ceramic each one is hand painted and has a different expression.  There is an additional amount of chain on the last one, so maybe mom originally had six pups and one got away.  No makers markings, but a small remnant of a Japan sticker is still on the bottom of the mom.

No chips or cracks.  Some light crazing to some as indicative of age.  See photos for details.

Measurements: Mom 3 1/4" long by 1 1/4" wide by 2 1/2" tall
                          pups 1 1/2" long by 1/2" wide  1" tall 
                          chain 9" long from mom's neck to end
