Charming vintage redware pottery Boxer dog figurine with a wonderfully expressive face and classic mid-century styling. The little Boxer is finished in a deep glossy brown glaze with hand-painted white eyes and red accents on the muzzle and inside the ears.
Its compact size and quirky expression make it a fun addition to a vintage dog collection, Boxer collection, or display of mid-century Japanese pottery.
