These happy dogs present opposing stances and are playing with their puppies. A Flaming Pearl of Wisdom is shown over the dogs' heads. The vases are in excellent original condition--they have not been drilled which adds to their desirability. Vases of this size and this condition are increasingly difficult to source. The softer color tone of the decoration enables the vases to be positioned in a multitude of spot with the general layout of the home.
