A gorgeous Scottish Terrier Dog figurine made by Guido Cacciapuoti. The terrier is in sitting position with gorgeous black and white rippling fur and soulful eyes that are looking upwards. In good condition with normal signs of wear, some firing dots, there looks like some paint restoration to the white stripe below the left eye which can be seen in the first image. On opposite rear sides is both the maker Cacciapuoti and Righetto marks (Silvio Righetto being the designer). On the underside is a model number of 661, a faint Italy impressed mark and green felt to protect your surfaces. A wondrous addition to anyone's Italian ceramics collection which simply displays exquisitely with such humour. Perfect for any Scottie or West Highland terrier owner.
The Cacciapuoti family is perhaps among the most famous of Italian porcelain makers, their Ceramiche branches were in production 1892 - 1953. This was a large family with many branches and almost all were involved with the porcelain arts. Cacciapuoti and Righetto were well known for their Napoleonic Soldier and animal figurines.
