Antique Victorian German Porcelain Fairing “The Orphans” – Conta & Boehme

Add a touch of Victorian whimsy to your collection with this authentic 19th-century German porcelain fairing titled “The Orphans.” Expertly crafted by the famous Conta & Boehme factory, this charming group depicts three pugs with expressive, soulful faces. Two pups are nestled into a tufted green armchair, while their companion sits faithfully at the base.

The piece features the characteristic bright, hand-painted glazes and gilded collars that make these “Fairing” figurines so collectible.

Originally won as prizes at Victorian country fairs, these pieces are now prized for their historical charm and storytelling. This specific model is a beautiful example of the sentimental animal themes popularized in the late 1800s.

Measuring 4″ tall x 3 1/2″ long x 1 3/4″ wide, it is in excellent, ready-to-display condition.

It is a truly exquisite acquisition for any canine, and especially pug enthusiast, offering a precious “peek” into the heartwarming world of Victorian animal portraiture.
