Three very fine ceramic figures of animals: two of Borzoi hounds, and one of a white Persian cat. Tow of the pieces, the cat and the larger dog are marked by a Viennese pottery. The third, the smaller dog is unmarked. The larger dog is very elegant, and finely painted with his mrlings in shades of black and smoky gray. The smaller dog is less elegant, but nicely painted in brown and white. The cat is white with blue eyes and a pink tongue. The larger Borzoi is marked 1009 with a combination of letters resembling VSP. The cat is marked similarly with an L, the numbers 1646, and Vien. Size: The larger Borzoi is 5 1/2 inches tall by 10 inches wide. The smaller Borzoi is 4 inches tall by 7 1/2 inches wide. The cat is 2 1/2 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches wide.

Condition

The larger Borzoi has a broken leg and has had it glued back together. The others are very good. The larger Borzoi's repair could easily be improved.
