Deeply moulded fur detail covers the chest, face, body and tail, while the traditional black-and-white colouring recreates the distinctive appearance associated with working collies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPainted brown eyes, a glossy black nose and small black claw details give the figurine additional character. Its substantial height makes it an attractive display piece for a shelf, cabinet, mantelpiece or country-inspired interior.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNo maker’s name, factory backstamp or country mark is visible on the underside. The figurine has therefore been described conservatively as an unidentified vintage ceramic dog rather than attributed to Melba Ware, Coopercraft, Beswick or another named manufacturer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAn appealing decorative gift for a Border Collie owner, sheepdog enthusiast, farmer, dog lover or collector of vintage animal ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nItem Details\u003cbr\u003e\nMaker: Unidentified or unbranded\u003cbr\u003e\nCollection\/Pattern: No named collection identified\u003cbr\u003e\nItem: Seated Border Collie or sheepdog decorative figurine\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Glazed ceramic or earthenware\u003cbr\u003e\nMain colours: Black, white, grey and brown\u003cbr\u003e\nDecoration: Moulded long-haired coat, painted facial features and black claw details\u003cbr\u003e\nPose: Seated upright with front paws extended and tail curled beside the body\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate production period: Likely mid-to-late 20th century; exact date unconfirmed\u003cbr\u003e\nBackstamp: No maker’s name, factory mark or country marking visible\u003cbr\u003e\nModel or shape number: None identified\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate measurements: Approximately 20–22 cm high, estimated from the photographed scale\u003cbr\u003e\nBase: Hollow slip-cast construction with a circular production opening\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of manufacture: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal box: Not included\u003cbr\u003e\nQuantity: One figurine\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe figurine appears to remain in good vintage display condition, retaining a glossy finish with clear moulded fur and painted facial detail. No chips, cracks or repairs are visible in the supplied photographs. There are light surface marks, small paint and glaze variations and signs of previous handling consistent with age. The underside and unglazed standing areas show noticeable dark contact marks, brown discolouration, dust or residue from storage and display. Reflections across the glossy black and white glaze make extremely fine scratches difficult to assess completely. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the exact figurine that will be received.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Vintage and Collectable Ceramics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nI have more vintage dog ornaments, animal ceramics and collectable decorative pieces available in my shop.
