Amazon.com Review
Incredibly detailed and playfully sweet, this Nao Dozing Doggy figurine makes good company on a dresser or curio shelf. The basset hound's quiet nap is a cozy image, and the fine craftsmanship ensures the piece's status as a collectible. Crafted in Spain's famous Lladro studios, the figurine is made from fine porcelain and is painted with a careful hand and a soft palette. The sculpture is expressive and the details are eye-catching--down to the cableknit on the puppy's blanket and the individual strands on the balls of yarn. Stamped with the Nao hallmark on its underside, the piece has an attractive glossy finish and measures approximately 5 by 4-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches. --Emily Bedard
