Given the age of this extraordinary dog, the Italian artist, Guido Cacciapuoti, most likely fashioned him after a Scottish Terrier.
Given the age of this extraordinary dog, the Italian artist, Guido Cacciapuoti, most likely fashioned him after a Scottish Terrier. However, for those of us who love Maltese as well, you can easily see how this dog could be very well be a Maltese in both appearance and personality! The detailing on this porcelain is amazing, from the tenacious look in his eyes as he holds his treasured bone, to the wild animation and “movement” of his fur. It is in excellent condition, and is hand signed “Cacciapouti”, and stamped “Made in Italy 2072” on the bottom.
Although we try not to have “favorites” here, at A Dog’s Tale, we must admit that this figurine has attracted more attention, and “passionately positive publicity” than almost any other item here. It would make an extraordinary gift to any dog lover or collector, but we have to forewarn you that, if it is intended as a gift, once you see it, it will be very difficult to give it away!
We are so happy this Scottish Terrier found a new home. Would you like to find a vintage or antique dog collectible and bring home your own new friend? Just check out our shop to see our currently available antique and vintage dog collectibles.
