New, Made in Japan
Description
Pug Puppy Porcelain Dog Figurine
featuring fawn body with a gray tint, having a cute innocent black mask. It seems to be a few month old puppy, though its stocky body is larger than the mature Pug figurine (See
HERE
).
It makes a great memento to remember your pug's puppyhood since it is too short a time to be etched on your mind.
This pug puppy figurine is a
newly made reproduction
from a somewhat vintage mold which has probably been used since the '70s or '80s. In those days, a large quantity of dog figurines was produced in Japan and exported worldwide under various brand names, such as Shafford, Napco or Lefton... Those manufacturers now no longer exist. However, some of their casting molds have been passed down and some dog breeds are still made in a small way in a small factory run by a husband and wife team, where this pug figurine is also made.
8.75" (22.3 cm) long x 6.5" (16.5 cm) tall
.
Material: Porcelain
Condition: New
There is a sticker on his belly that reads "Seto-yaki"(瀬戸焼). 'Seto-yaki' is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan, which includes all kinds of porcelain items such as animal, human, Disney and more figurines, and also chinaware for practical as well as decorative purposes. "Seto" is a city located in the center of Japan, and is also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.

About My Store
My store provides Japanese Seto-yaki porcelain figurines. 'Seto-yaki' is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan.
Seto is a city located in the center of Japan, and is also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.
From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. Now there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from manufacturers/retailers out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, visit my ebay store.
