Featured Id and date porcelain dog

Hello

i'd liketo ID and date this beautiful vintage porcelain dog

height : cm 11,2
Length: cm 14

I seem to be able to read the number in 1856, but it is very faded

Thanks

 

I would have thought more recent than 1923, but this site says that the word "Foreign" was stamped on items from 1897-1923. Don't know if certain countries continued to use it beyond that date or not.

I like how the little figure shows the folds of skin by the neck. Cute piece!

 

man

Ah, many thanks

"Some less sophisticated countries simply marked their goods "foreign" between 1893 and 1923 meaning it was their export product, going outside their own country"

Which country do you think could it be ?

 

Boxer puppy.

 

I think it's unlikely you'll figure out exactly which country it came from, but if you're planning on selling it, it should sell on its own merits (lots of people love cute dog figurines!).

 

I suspect this was sold in the UK - it has a pre decimal price of 12/11 on it. I also think it originated in Japan, or possibly Germany. I'm inclined to Japan, with that face. It was very common after WW2 for Japanese, and some German pieces sold here to have a "Foreign" stamp, just as German stuff after WW1 had the same. But with that price, it's post WW2.

 

@Ownedbybear
My first inclination was Germany until I saw the Foreign mark. Japan used it more. However, I don't think Japan used incised pattern numbers, while Germany did.

So my vote goes to Germany for probable origin.

 

wow

thanks a lot to you all for the precious info

 

I'm not sure but I think I may have a lead. I found what appears to be a similar model and it has a similar impressed number. The examples I found have different marks so it seems possible (to me anyway) that they could have used a mark like yours. Cortendorf.

example and yours

Well done. Probably means the original one is only just post war, I suspect.

 

Wow it's the brother !!!
