Early 19th-century white porcelain Pug. The portrayal of the pug's quirky personality is a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. Notably, the cropped ears provide a clear time marker, as this practice ceased in the 20th century and most pug figures into the 20th century have floppy ears. This charming piece not only captivates with its history but also adds character to your collection. Made circa 1840.
