Mid-Century Italian Large White Porcelain Greyhound or Whippet

Description

This vintage Italian Midcentury white porcelain sculpture, artfully depicts an obedient greyhound dog. The greyhound, known for its slender, streamlined body and swift agility, is portrayed sitting and displaying a calm and submissive demeanor (his ears are delicately tucked back). His tail, subtly tucked to one side, adds another touch of realism and further showcases the attention to detail that went into creating this piece. The porcelain greyhound is poised on a rectangular base. This fine white porcelain sculpture exudes an air of refinement and sophistication.
