Jules Desbois, White Limoges Porcelain Subject, Hunting Dog Statue By Haviland

A very pretty white porcelain piece from Limoges depicting a hunting dog lying on a terrace. This beautiful porcelain was made by the Haviland factory in Limoges, based on a model by Jules Desbois (1851-1935), a renowned sculptor from the 1880s to 1910, a friend of Auguste Rodin, and a pastel artist in the last years of his life. Our statue bears the Haviland France mark impressed into the clay and under its base. It also bears the Desbois signature in relief on the back of the terrace (see photos). A second piece depicting an elephant from the same factory and by the same artist is for sale in our gallery (see last photo). Dimensions: length 23 cm, width 12 cm, height 12 cm.
