Designed by the esteemed sculptor Fritz Heidenreich, the figurine captures the dog in a peaceful reclining pose, with its long, feathered legs crossed and its head alert and regal.

The hand-painted detailing is exquisite, featuring soft grey and charcoal patches against a luminous white glaze. The anatomical precision—from the slender muzzle to the delicate curve of the tail—showcases why Rosenthal remains a world leader in fine china. This is a significant piece for any sight-hound collector or lover of high-end European porcelain.
This beautiful Borzoi is on the large side of a medium sized figurine, measuring a full 10 1/2" long x 5" tall x 5" wide.

It is in excellent, flawless condition.
