    Hi all,

    purchased this fella on a whim today, something about his face appealed to me. Can anyone tell me breed and date of the ceramic? I am guessing a pug, but he’s an odd pug if so… also he has a strange metallic mark- is this connected with how he was made?

    That show was my jam growing up— always showcased historically interesting things, even if low value :happy:

    I’ve never heard that term… I think the clay had metal impurities which surfaced after firing and have rusted since then, with the brown spot the biggest example. Sad to say I don’t know at all what that suggests about age or origin :(:shy:
