Dog ceramic sculpture

This beautiful painted and glazed ceramic dog will not leave anyone indifferent, you either love it or hate it, but what is certain is that it will make people talk! It is not signed and yet it would deserve it because it is a beautiful work of sculpture and painting for a very realistic result. It must date from the 50s or 60s. It is in good general condition but has marks that testify to its age and its previous lives: its ear has probably been glued back on, but it is not very visible (i only noticed it after several handlings and inspections of the details at the time of writing this description), small chips or paint chips (ear, back, muzzle), and an area where the paint seems abraded on the tail. Despite these small defects, it remains quite presentable, but obviously a small restoration (a few touch-ups of paint and varnish) would be a plus and this beautiful dog would deserve such attention. It measures 39 cm in height, 20 cm in width, 34 cm in depth. It weighs a little over 3 kg and will be very well packaged if shipped by colissimo.
