Title: Colourful Dog - approx. 22 cms high
Post by: pamela on November 20, 2011, 08:18:24 PM

 :hi:
A visitor to my musuem donated this fellow - it was a gift from her parents when she was a child, so at least about 50 years of age. She knew this is not my kind of stuff - but instead of throwing it away she was looking for a better home for it now  :angel:

Is this Murano?

Is someone of our animal collectors interested, please?

Lovely Dog!

I am not sure -- but something in *my gut* tells me that I have seen this before as Murano in my google travels here.  Again, not positive -- but I feel that he may be.....as I think I have saw before



My 2 cents worth.........but ??? :-\

Looks like a relation of the one at the bottom of this page, which has a Murano label:

You could use it as a door stop with a sign around its neck
