Almost as cuddly as the real thing, this Nao Puppy Present figurine will charm dog-lovers and light-hearted collectors. The puppy, a little brown and white spaniel, is tied with a big blue bow for an enduring image of gift giving. The sculpture is warm and expressive, with a detailed charm that includes the little puppy's locks of fur, foot pads, and sweet eyes. Made from fine porcelain, the figurine is crafted and painted by hand in Spain's famous Lladro studios. The coloring is soft but sure, and the glossy glaze overall adds a subtle gleam. Stamped with the Nao seal on its underside, the piece stands approximately 3-1/2 inches high.
