Japanese White Glazed Hirado Ware Puppy, Edo/Meiji Period, Mid 19th Century

About the Item

An absolutely adorable Japanese Hirado Mikawachi ware white glazed porcelain model of a puppy dog, Edo to Meiji period, early to mid 19th century, Japan. The cute puppy is portrayed seated upon his haunches, head turned, his long tail slightly curled along one leg. The puppy's face is soft and calm, with flattened features. His jowled mouth set in a near pleading pout, while his wide eyes look to the viewer longingly. The ears are loose and floppy, down and resting against his head. A collar graces the puppy's neck. A bell is attached to the collar. The puppy crafted from a fine white porcelain, and glazed all over in a bright white glaze, typical of Hirado Mikawachi wares. A label for the Sherwood collection attached to the haunches. The underside with old green felt pads.
