Porcelain dog figurine of a Sable German Shepherd, 10 inches long Smaller Size. The realistic looking mold has been slip cast and carefully hand-painted like wolf colors to make it look more lifelike. Our German Shepherd Figurine is available in 5 colors and 2 sizes: 10" long or 18" long, Sable, Black and Red, Black and Tan, Black and Silver, and Solid Black. See HERE for other dog breeds as well.
This item is a newly made reproduction from original Shafford's mold, probably dating back to the 1950s-'70s. In those days, a large quantity of dog figurines was produced in Japan and exported worldwide under various brand names, such as Shafford, Napco or Lefton. Those manufacturers now no longer exist. However, some of their casting molds have been passed down and some dog breeds are still made in a small way in a small factory run by a husband and wife team, where this German Shepherd figurine was also made. Though it has no value as a vintage figurine, this beautiful dog sculpture is worth adding to your dog figurine collection.

My store provides Japanese Seto-yaki porcelain figurines. 'Seto-yaki', such as these dog figurines, is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan. Seto is a city located in the center of Japan and also the center for Japan's ceramics industry. From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. Now there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from manufacturers/retailers out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, you're welcome to visit my ebay store at any time.
