Tristan,
Your literally in China, heh ...
at first
I thought you meant, well, you know ...
No, I guess there's not much chance of finding any Allach over there, but maybe a nice small Foo Dog? Have a safe trip home.
Gary,
Now that's some puppy, beautiful mate! This example would make for a great addition to anyone's porcelain collection, Professor Kärner at his best. Somehow it seems his earlier works are even better than his later productions. I believe he made another example that's very similar to this one later on when he worked for Rosenthal. Most of those are painted and don't hold a candle to your lovely all-white example!
He kind of reminds me of Nipper, the old logo for the US-RCA Company. With his head cocked like that, it's looks like he's listening to "His Master's Voice..." as the saying goes.
Great find and thanks for sharing him with us!
Best!
W~
