SPAGHETTI PINK POODLE,large, vintage 50's, 60's, JAPAN, Park Ave dog porcelain

Description

Please read the seller terms at the bottom of the page, view the pictures and ask questions before buying:
This is a very large vintage collectible ceramic pink poodle, what is often called a "spaghetti" poodle, probably made in Japan. The porcelain is in excellent condition, with maybe some of the fritting or spaghetti bits broken which could even be from manufacture.  It is pink with some kind of applied black "wash", almost like dirt, and I haven't tried to wash or clean it, for fear of removing any original finish.  It has its original Park Avenue label, which has some fading to it.  It has a maker's? stamp on it's front foot, as can be seen in one of the photos.  The leather collar has become separated, and the other collar or leash on its tail is as is, as I am not sure what it is supposed to be doing; it could be just removed, but it is as found. Great piece for your collection of animals particularly if you are into poodles.  Please look at the photographs carefully to decide on its condition, and email me with any further questions. 9 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches x 4 1/2 inches.  Because of its fragility, it will be shipped in a double box which is the reason for the larger shipping dimensions.

Condition and descriptions
:
Please email
us with any questions
on the
item
before bidding or buying.
It
ems are thoroughly described and researched to the best of our knowledge.
If we are selling
items
that
are vintage,
they were
pre-owned; they are not new and show varying signs of age and wear;
they are as is,
showing
visual and physical cues typical of an item that has been handled (i.e. abrasions, dings, variations in color, patina, etc.).
We will attempt to describe the physical condition to the best of our ability especially noting what we consider condition issues,
but often we don't overstate the obvious signs of age that are inherent in vintage items. If you have further specific questions or concerns, we encourage you to ask before you bid.
More importantly, examine the photographs as they are generally the final word.
