Can we “Fetch” a classic Labrador Retriever
or perhaps another new friend for your consideration?
This whimsical porcelain Labrador Retriever dog fairing, captures the rare, but special friendly relationship between a dog and a cat.
Fairings were often used to depict humorous circumstances. In this case, it pokes fun at the notion that cats and dogs could ever be “Best Friends.”
A Labrador Retriever, known to be one of the most egalitarian of breeds, was chosen to play this role.
Fairings were made and hand-painted in Germany and given out at outdoor fairs in England in the early 1900’s.
This fairing was made by Conta & Boehne of Germany.
Measuring 3″ tall x 3 1/2″ long x 2″ wide, it is in excellent condition, beautifully hand-painted, with some numbers impressed on the underside of the base.
Fairings are unique and highly collectible porcelain figurines, and the perfect dog lover’s gift.
This particular fairing, is a special favorite for Labrador Retriever lover’s, and the perfect addition to any porcelain dog collection.
Please note that we are currently privileged to have a variety of dog-themed antique fairings in our shop.
