<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 46832, member: 56"]If you search Dehua Porcelain Dog, you will find photos of similar figurines with 18th C attributions. That certainly does not mean that these are 18th C, and I can't speak to the accuracy of those attributions. A Sotheby's auction catalog from 1989 that I have shows dogs and cats, about this size but with different modelling and amber glaze, attributed to the 18th C. The same catalog shows larger dogs (14") with a streaky amber glaze, no date attribution. I don't think there's any doubt that such figurines were made in China over a very long period of time. I do agree that the date for these is up in the air: they might have been done a hundred years ago, they might have been done yesterday. I would tend to think made in China and newer rather than older... but that's just a personal impression.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Sotheby's catalog in question is "The Collection of John T. Dorrance, Jr., Important French and Continental Furniture, Chinese Works of Art and Objects of Virtu, Sale #5909, October 20 & 21, 1989. Lots of porcelain, lots of jade, lots of color photos. The jades would take your breath away. A hardcover book and one of my favorite catalogs. A corncopia of eye candy. I'd recommend it to anyone who could find a copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
