Excellent Little Old Carved and Painted Dog Chinese porcelain box by hand I believeVery good dog! A very expressive little one, with really excellent old paint and patina on him, and feeling every inch the loyal companion. Found separately but the same day as the little carved cat I just listed, and they do make quite a sympathetic pair, so a photo of them together is included. Seems perhaps he was once attached to a base of some sort as there is a hold in the underside of the front paws, but one would never miss it. 2 7 8" l x 2 3
