Subject: Rare Chinese export porcelain katabori netsuke of a reclining piebald Chin dog. There is a similar example in the book "Adornment in Clay - Ceramic Netsuke from the Richard R. Silverman Collection" with the following descriptions (note that the one in the book is larger and has blue "fur" instead of spots, being the somewhat more common treatment for this design):
Identifying the ceramic type, kiln, and area of production for a ceramic netsuke can be extremely difficult, and it is a task that is further complicated by the fact that during the nineteenth century, the Chinese were known to be producing and exporting ceramic pieces for the burgeoning Japanese market. This chin dog is one example that exhibits evidence in its porcelain and glaze type that it was made in China. The seated karako child is also thought to be produced in a Chinese kiln. The distinct treatment of the face and use of unusual glazes and enamel contrasts greatly with Hirado ware versions of the same subject (see Cat. 8).
