Derby Porcelain Pug Figure of a Reclining Dog England Early 19th c Derby Figurine




RARE ANTIQUE !!!! The other one we found is in a museum. 

Porcelain Figure of a Reclining Pug Dog, England, early 19th century Derby figurine.
In amazing condition for a figurine that's over 200 years old.
The sad fact that until the year 1800, the fashion for pug dogs in England, was to have their entire ear bobbed.
There are 5 tiny dots of paint loss on the green base (see pictures to tell the difference between a shine and a dot)
And 2 rub spots to the back of the head.

Attributed to Derby, polychrome enamel decorated with a light brown dog on a green rectangular base, gilt trim line.

height - 2 3/8 in.
length - 3-1/2 in.
depth - 2in.

$825
