Yellow
Labrador Retriever
porcelain statue,
made in Japan
. This Yellow Lab statue shows lots of realistic details such as cute pendant ears, long curly tail and innocent eyes that express his loyalty and profound love towards his owner.
This Labrador statue is a
newly made reproduction
from a somewhat vintage mold which has probably been used since the '70s or '80s. In those days, a large quantity of dog figurines was produced in Japan and exported worldwide under various brand names, such as Shafford, Napco or Lefton... Those manufacturers now no longer exist. However, some of their casting molds have been passed down and some dog breeds are still made in a small way in a small factory run by a husband and wife team, where this Labrador figurine was also made.

About My Store
My store provides Japanese Seto-yaki porcelain figurines. 'Seto-yaki' is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan.
Seto is a city located in the center of Japan, and is also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.
From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. Now there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from local stores out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, visit my ebay store.
