This is a classic mid-century modern ceramic piece by the renowned South African producer, Lucia Ware. Shaped as a whimsical dachshund, the item features the brand’s signature deep burgundy high-gloss glaze and hand-painted eye details. The impressed number "2008" on the base is a specific production shape or model code used by the pottery. Measuring 19cm (l) x 8cm (h), the piece is in good vintage condition with no cracks or major chips, showing only light surface wear and minor paint loss to the eyes consistent with its age.
