Ceramic Terrier Figurine

This is a ceramic dog figurine made in Austria in the early 20th century. Either by the Wiener Kunstkeramische Werkstätten or Goldscheider but I have not found another one yet so I am not sure. The dog reminds me a lot of Niki from the Nymphenburg porcelain factory designed by Willy Zügel . The dog is definitely a terrier and I think it is a Foxterrier but I stink with dog breeds so I might be wrong. The figure is superbly modeled and hand painted perfectly. It is of a ncie size as well. The figurine is marked on the bottom with some numbers that are hard to see 8753 possibly a model number, 30 and the letter F. No factory mark so it was either msised which did happen from time to time or has worn off. I lean towards worn of which means it was more likely made by Goldscheider since they had a printed mark. Either way a really nice figure! The dog is 9.75 inches tall, 5.375 inches wide and 8 inches long which is a great size. The piece is in great condition with a hard to spot small chip to one of the paws as shown. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $599
