CHAMPIONSHIP POSE ( Vintage Bone China Occupied Japan Pug Dog ): The Ardalt company in Japan, using the Lenwile trademark, made 5 or 6 different pug models in Bone China during the post-World War II era. That era has come to be known as the “Occupied Japan” era in regard to the jewelry, figurines, china and other collectibles produced for export in Japan. This is the largest and most detailed of the Lenwile pugs. Bone China is produced by adding bone ash to the clay – giving a smooth, white, almost translucent appearance. Most of the pugs are left in their natural white color with only their faces and feet lightly decorated, some with a collar as well. This is one of the few I’ve seen that is fully colored with a lovely fawn coat. He looks like a true champion. He has the model number “H3679”, I think. The last digit is difficult to read. Condition: Excellent. No chips, cracks or repairs. Size: Pug - 4 1/2" high, 6 1/2" long, 2" wide.
