    Hello everyone, this is my first post. I thought this might be the place to get some help identifying a dog figurine that I have. The only identifying mark that I see is a "112" on the back side, next to the ribcage lines. I haven't had any luck identifying it with google image or the 112. My mother told me she thought it was English and very old.

    The figurine is 4.25" X 2.5" x 1.5" weighs 2.4 ounces
    Light brown, one color glaze on porcelain (the unglazed portion on the bottom of the feet is white)

    Thanks for your help!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, Ashton! I have no useful comments about the dachshund.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    He may have a herniated navel!!:joyful::joyful:...sorry...couldn't help myself! To me, he doesn't look old....but have never seen one anything like him either.....I think the English usually mark their figurines, don't they???? (I could be off base, too).....BTW, WELCOME, Ashton!!:):)

    He looks very much like Wade Whimseys.
    I'd start investigating there.

    Definitely not Wade, those are solid and it's the wrong clay.
