Designed in 1936 by the master sculptor Robert Ullmann, this model is the largest and most impressive size produced by the manufactory.

Measuring 6 inches tall and extending a full 11 inches in length, this exquisite sighthound is rendered in Augarten’s legendary high-gloss white porcelain. The piece captures the soul of the breed with its regal, cross-pawed reclining pose and meticulously hand-painted details—from the delicate pink-tinged ears to the precise black accents on the muzzle and paws.

It bears the prestigious blue Augarten shield and crown mark, as well as the impressed number 1713/lll and the painter's number 219 painted in black.

This wonderful Borzoi is in excellent, flawless condition.

This Art Deco treasure represents the pinnacle of Austrian porcelain history. A commanding "Artistic Animal" that brings an air of aristocratic elegance to any high-end interior.
