Say hello to this handsome, sit-down Sylvao Terrier dog figurine, originating from England and likely produced in the mid-20th century (1940s-1950s). This ceramic piece features a classic, seated pose with a slightly cocked head that gives him an endearing, quizzical expression. He's finished in a high-gloss glaze of warm browns, tans, and creamy white, with subtle hand-painted black details for the eyes and nose. The white areas show characteristic age-related crazing, adding to its antique charm. The base is clearly stamped with the iconic "SYLVAO ENGLAND" backstamp, confirming its British pottery provenance.
