Maker: Beswick Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent, England
Date: Mid–late 20th century (c.1960–1980)
Description:
A naturalistically modelled ceramic figure of a standing dachshund produced by the English pottery manufacturer Beswick. The dog is depicted alert with elongated body, short legs, and gently drooping ears typical of the breed. Finished in a rich chestnut-brown gloss glaze with darker shading to the muzzle and expressive hand-painted eyes.
The modelling captures the characteristic proportions of the dachshund with subtle anatomical detailing along the shoulders and flanks. Pieces of this type formed part of Beswick’s popular mid-20th-century animal series, which became widely collected for their lifelike modelling and quality glaze finish.
