Also featured is a white reclining Borzoi with a red printed Lomonosov Porcelain Factory mark including the LFZ logo, the number 2003, and Made in USSR. Other figures include a large reclining Pekingese in a brown and white glaze, a seated reddish-brown Dachshund, a seated German Shepherd, and a white and tan Wire-haired Fox Terrier. The group also contains a buff-glazed Chow Chow, a small black and white Bulldog puppy, and a matt-finish grey and tan puppy. Background items include a black Scottish Terrier and a dark brown seated dog. Several figurines carry small paper labels marked 14 or 171.
Condition report:
The collection is in generally good condition with surface dirt and dust present throughout. There is visible crazing to the glazes, typical for pieces of this type, especially on the SylvaC example. The SylvaC collie has a small vent hole in the base. No major structural breaks or repairs are visible, though minor flea bites or small chips to extremities may be present upon close inspection.
