This exquisite Conta & Boehme porcelain figurine is also an inkwell. It tells the wonderfully, whimsical tale of a mother dog, seated atop a table, and who is watching her three rambunctious puppies, pulling at the tablecloth, in their attempt to get at the bones and dog dish, which are on the top of the table.
This gorgeous piece is reminiscent of the much smaller figurines like this, that were also made by Conta & Boehme, called “Fairings”, and were given out at country fairs, as prizes in the early 1900’s.
