Borzoi Dog Figurine #3

This is a really amazing figure of a Russian Wolfhound or Borzoi made by Nymphenburg in the early 20th century - from its original period! He was designed by the famous Theodor Kaerner whose models of animals are the best in the porcelain world. This piece has the perfect pose for this breed - lying down with on leg stretched straight out! The modeling is perfect and the hand painted details superb. It really does not come better for a figurine of this breed! The figure is 4.75 inches tall, 4.875 inches wide and 10.625 inches long. It is marked underneath with the impressed shield mark, impressed number 5 and incised numer 438. There is a painter's mark by where the tail meets the main body as shown. It is in superb condition which is amazing considering the one outstretched leg in front. Some minor firing flaws normal to these early larger pieces but just as it left the factory. It's a stunning looking figurine! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
