Lot #35: Vintage "Made in Occupied Japan" Porcelain Collie Dog Figurine

Sweet vintage porcelain Collie figurine, shown standing alert with that classic sable-and-white rough collie coloring — rich tan face, dark charcoal saddle markings, and creamy white chest and legs. Nicely detailed hand-painted glaze work with good depth and shading throughout the coat. Clearly marked on the underside "Made in Occupied Japan," dating this piece to the 1945-1952 postwar production era, which collectors look for specifically. Great condition overall — glaze is glossy with no major chips noted (a couple tiny black glaze specks are part of the finish, not damage). A nice addition for Collie/Lassie collectors or anyone building an Occupied Japan porcelain collection.
