Let this cheerful ceramic chihuahua figurine adorn your home or office for a decorative touch that will bring you a smile. Handcrafted by Mexican artisan Topiltzin Castro in the Talavera style, the chihuahua's body is hand-painted in a motif of diagonal rows of white teardops interspersed with warm brown dots and alternating scallop-edged rows of slate grey horizontal pinstripes. The background is left unglazed, allowing the matte, natural beige color of the ceramic to show through.

"Delightful ceramic dog figurine"
Beautifully made, with a charming expression on his face, this little guy makes me smile every time I look at him. Lovely feel in the hand and a nice mix of glazed details and fired clay texture. He arrived in perfect condition, well-protected and carefully packaged for shipping. He makes a special addition to my Chihuahua figurine collection. :)

"Elegant and adorable at the same time"
I gave this little sprite to my mama for Mothers Day and now she stands happily in her very own succulent garden, greeting everyone who comes to the front door with that cute and cheerful grin. Such intricate and precise patterning in calm, earthy tones! Many thanks to the artisan!
