741 - Chinese export porcelain figure of a small, black, crouching hound, Kangxi ca. 1720. Modelled playfully crouching on a green base, jaws open, and eyes alert. Likely modeled after the bony native dogs of China, the unusual post is unlike most of the export models imported by the East India Company. Howard suggests the possibility of a private commission.

Mottahedeh; Sotheby's, New York, "Important Chinese Export Porcelain from the Mottahedeh Collection," 30 January 1985, Lot 343; Sotheby's, New York, "Chinese Export Porcelain," 25 January 1989, Lot 207; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Exhibition: Virginia Museum, "The Mottahedeh Collection," January 1981 to October 1982. Height: 2 1/2 in x width: 4 1/2 in x depth: 2 in.
