Modeled with an expressive folk-art aesthetic, the canine portrait is set against a vibrant turquoise-blue sky backdrop and safely enclosed by a deeply fluted, rich chocolate-brown border mimicking a stylized rope or picket fence pattern with glossy glaze accents.The reverse side reveals an unprinted white glazed base featuring an impressed mold number 530 alongside an incised artisan control circle stamped directly into the clay body. This specific configuration is highly characteristic of prominent late-Victorian German art potteries such as Zell (Georg Schmider) or Villeroy & Boch (Schramberg). The piece remains nested securely within its original, hand-forged twisted iron wire frame harness equipped with an integrated top hanging loop. A marvelous addition for collectors of antique majolica, European art pottery, or curated gallery walls. See less
