TANG – Spanish porcelain – Russian Borzoi in motion – Model 223

The item up for auction is an impressive, collectible porcelain figurine from the Spanish manufacturer TANG, depicting a Russian Borzoi in an exceptionally dynamic pose.

The dog is shown in full sprint, with stretched front and hind legs, a slim silhouette, a flowing tail, and the breed’s characteristic elongated head.

The composition perfectly conveys the elegance, speed, and lightness of the Borzoi’s movement. Particular attention is drawn to the carefully modeled, wavy coat, obvious muscularity, and subtly crafted details of the muzzle, ears, and paws.

The figurine rests on a decorative base with stylized botanical forms that support the animal’s silhouette and give the sculpture a sense of motion.

Color and workmanship

The porcelain is covered with a glossy glaze in elegant shades of white, light gray, and cream, with delicate pastel accents.

The dog's eyes are amber, and the open mouth with a visible tongue is subtly highlighted in pink.

The decorative base is in a light cream-pearl tone, harmoniously complementing the figure of the animal.
