{"product_id":"sylvac-terrier-beige","title":"SylvaC \"Towser\" Wire-Haired Terrier Figurine, Model 1378, Made in England, Circa 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe British have always had a particular talent for capturing dogs in ceramic — and SylvaC’s animal figurines represent the form at its most endearing. Introduced in the 1930s and produced through to the factory’s closure in 1982, the SylvaC animal range became a staple of the English mantelpiece and sideboard. Model 1378, “Towser the Terrier,” is one of the most characterful of them: an inquisitive wire-haired terrier with asymmetrical folded ears, realistically moulded fur texture, and an expression that suggests he has just heard something very interesting indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is in excellent vintage condition — clean glaze, strong colour retention, and no chips, cracks, or repairs. Finding SylvaC animal figurines in this condition in Australia is genuinely rare; most pieces that make it to this market have had a long journey and show it. This one hasn’t. A considered addition to a bookshelf, a bedside table, or a collection of British animal pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e SylvaC (Shaw \u0026amp; Copestake), Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1378\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seated wire-haired terrier (“Towser”)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic matte beige\/tan with brown shaded highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
