This exquisite antique dachshund was designed by Vera Bartels for the Nymphenburg factory in Germany.
This exquisite antique dachshund was designed by Vera Bartels for the Nymphenburg factory in Germany. He was modeled after a rather high born hound, “Labori II of Bergsteig”, a prizewinning male Dachshund, whose photo circled the world in the form of a postcard. It is the only dog that she ever produced for Nymphenburg.
This wonderful dog is under glazed and hand painted, giving him a beautiful, “soft” look as well as a brilliant sparkle. He is done in a dark brown/grey colouring, which is the one that is most rare of the three colourings it was produced in. He is in flawless, excellent condition and measures 6 3/4″ tall x 9″ long x 3 1/2″ wide. He is impressed with the Nymphenburg mark on his underside as well as the number 167.
Both his physique and his unique character; a mix of strength, loyalty and single mindedness, have been masterfully captured by the artist.
He is an extraordinary tribute to his breed, and the “champion” of any Dachshund collection.
We are so happy this Dachshund 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.
