This rare and unique antique Majolica glazed creature from Italy stands at a height of 9.5 inches. Handpainted in multi-color, this mythical figurine features elements of both a dog and a dragon, embodying a whimsical and fantastical theme. Made of porcelain and pottery, this antique original piece from the early 20th century showcases intricate details and craftsmanship, making it a standout collectible for those with a taste for exotic and imaginative pieces. FLAW: There is a chipped piece behind the dragon’s ear that is missing. It is hard to notice. It we wanted you to be aware. Please see photos for a visual.
