Self explanatory...reall y...Dog was made in Japan...and the Horse...in England...as Beswick is an English pottery mark...

I just looked at the larger version of your foal, I see it is in fact dappled gray, just lighter than the other one that is for sale. Congrats on a good score!

Looking at Ebay UK, it looks like these are probably not getting the asking price on the web site above. There are quite a few Bestwicks listed, including your foal that does have several bidders, but is very low, so you might want to watch this auction, although this one has a repair so that value is going to be severely affected:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beswick-Small-Dapple-Grey-Foal-/221165932791?pt=UK_PotteryPorcelain_Glass_PotteryPorcelain_China_SM&hash=item337e8450f7

Bigwull I beg to differ. Open the full size image and you can see the dapples.

As much as I,d like for you to have scored well with this Beswick,...i,m not convinced...that what you have got..is the same as what Tales...has found...on your foal the tail sits at a different angle..the colour of the main is different...the horses face..is different...and...y ours has an almost.."my little pony look" about it....and the over all colour is all wrong

I would be inclined to believe that this 2nd one that you,ve found on ebay..is almost identical to the one here....its legs are in the same position..and the colour is good...i,ve compared the £225 one alongside the other 2...and they are like..."chalk & cheese"...to each other...

Is there a model number near the Bestwick mark? That would help if we can identify for sure which model of foal yours is. There are a whole bunch of them that only seem to differ slightly! Kinda like brie compared to cheddar... LOL

there is no comparison....There is something Not Right about a cheese that some halfwit...has decided that it can be tinned...
• Brie is available canned, but it is impossible to judge age,
and I f you,re looking for a really nice Cheddar...then..get yourself...a Mull Truckle....served at room temp...yummy....or a deep fried Camembert.... ;D....

You,d be amazed at how quickly you can get rid of a cold..when you,ve consumed almost a half bottle of whisky and honey, hot toddies...and 12 hours sleep,..i,m still not a 100%...but i,m getting there...

as to the 2 ornaments...i,ve always been of the opinion..that its better to have a  realistic price.....then...if it sell for much higher..then..you feel great...as opposed to thinking..WOW,..its worth $300...then find out its only worth $30
