What to say? Well, this chap has a number of notable features: principally, he's made up of various independently rotating sections, he has flapping plastic ears attached with metal rivets, his original sticker is still present on one of the wooden wheels, and for some unknown reason he has a kind of tartan fabric mid-section. It should also be pointed out that he's had a nose job. No, that's not his original nose, it's a newly-added one done in the style of the original which wasn't present when he was "re-homed". It's a good match and it's likely that if you didn't know, you wouldn't know - if that makes sense. His pull cord is not original either, but again it is a good match for the original kind of cotton cord that would have been, but wasn't.

This cheerfully bright and well-made dog measures approximately 26cm (10 in.) long with a height of approximately 18cm (7 in.). He might be a he. But could be a she. Either way, difficult to resist :)

Offers to rehome this delightful little dog are warmly invited.

It's _very_ vintage in style but probably dates from the 1970s and is complete with its original labels affixed to the base and also to the inside of the pot and also original tag tied to one of the handles.

It therefore appears to have never been used at all, but unfortunately it has nevertheless suffered some slight damage to the inside of the rim. This shouldn't affect normal use and it's not terrible from an aesthetic point of view, but it needs to be noted. It could be easily "touched up" if so desired.

The dish measures approximately 18cm (7in.) in diameter on the rim and 14cm (5½ in.) at the base, with the handles protruding 2.5cm (1 in.) either side. Without the lid, it is approximately 8 cm (3¼ in.) in height, and with the lid adding approximately 4cm (1½ in.) to that.
