RARE Vintage Basil Matthews Spaghetti Poodle dog figurine sculpted porcelain

Basil Matthews pieces are all hand made and signed individually. He was a talented self-taught artist born in Wales who opened his own studio in the late 1940's where he sculpted from solid clay using no slip castings. Each piece is prized for being completely made by hand (and signed). Since all of his figurines were hand decorated, no two are exactly the same, so each one is unique. He never did mass production, instead concentrating on limited pieces of no more than about a hundred. His figurines are becoming harder to find. He is an internationally acclaimed designer and figurine artist, who passed away in 1985 thus the work is becoming more collectable as time goes on. Any questions, please leave a comment below.
