Hello,
I recently came across a collection of dog figurines (11 to be exact) and I am in the process of researching each one. I will be posting additional pictures in the future of a few more that I believe I will need more insight on, but for now, there is one in particular. It's a basset hound dog that is sitting up on its hind legs. It's about 7 inches high and there is a foil sticker on the bottom that reads "Ucagco ceramics Japan". I can't seem to find anything that turns out to be exactly what I have. I realize it bears a resemblance to Boswell the basset hound from the 1958 book Boswell's Life of Boswell by Evelyn Leavens, but I highly doubt it can be that because the light brown spot markings are different on the front of the body. I am looking for a time period, value estimate, and any other information you would like to share. Thank you!
