Another Old Friend With A New Home – CRM-2382C
This whimsical porcelain dog figurine, captures the mischievous spirit of three Pug dogs, two of whom seem to have found their way onto the parlor furniture.
This whimsical porcelain dog figurine, captures the mischievous spirit of three Pug dogs, two of whom seem to have found their way onto the parlor furniture.
Called a “Fairing”, such pieces were made in Germany and given out at fairs in England in the early 1900s. This one, entitled “The Orphans” was very popular.
Measuring 4″ tall x 3 1/2″ long x 1 3/4″ wide, it is in excellent condition, beautifully hand painted, with 1887 impressed on the underside of the base. One of the pugs has a white spot on its muzzle, but it is smooth to the touch, and appears to be painted that way in the manufacturing process.
This is a unique and wonderful depiction of a very charismatic breed and a fantastic addition to any Pug collection.
We are so happy this Pug found a new home. Would you like to find a vintage or antique dog collectible and bring home your own new friend? Just check out our shop to see our currently available antique and vintage dog collectibles.
