Seated Terrier Figurine, Brown and White, Japan, 3.5"

A small terrier sitting up straight, ears pricked tall, brown patches over his head and back and a little red mouth. He looks like he heard the car in the driveway.

Low on his back, the word JAPAN is pressed into the porcelain. Pieces like this came over by the crate in the postwar years and were sold for pocket change at five-and-dimes.

Seated Terrier Figurine, hand-painted glazed porcelain, made in Japan. Impressed Japan mark. Brown and white. 3.5" tall. A small area of glaze loss at the left shoulder; unglazed base with an open firing hole, as made.

For the terrier people, and anyone who keeps a small dog on the sill. #followthefeeling @tallmadge_ave_vintage

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
