Description from the seller
Pair of German porcelain figurines – Pug dogs – Late 19th to early 20th century
Model 4338, circa 1890–1900
Superb pair of mirrored seated porcelain figurines depicting pug dogs (Mops). High-quality German production dating from the late 19th or very early 20th century (Belle Époque), from a manufacturer attributed to Thuringia, Germany, based on the model number.
Each figurine is beautifully crafted and highlights the breed’s distinctive features:
a glossy beige coat, a highly expressive wrinkled black mask, a curled tail, and an elegant blue collar adorned with golden bells.
As this is an original mirrored pair, the dogs’ gazes meet when they are placed on either side of a fireplace or sideboard. You can have endless fun arranging this pair in all sorts of positions.
Both pieces bear the same incised model number, 4338, confirming that they were designed as a pair. The hand-painted finish and glaze give each figurine its own unique charm.
Dimensions: Height 16 cm, width 7 cm, depth 13 cm
Weight of each statue: 177 grams
