A Rare Italian Bisque Collie — Vaga International, 1970s A highly collectible and beautifully detailed vintage sculpture of a Rough Collie (Lassie dog), crafted from high-quality bisque porcelain with a matte finish and exquisite hand-painted details on the face, coat, and paws.
This piece bears the iconic "AKITA" stamp under the paw — the exclusive catalog line distributed by the Italian firm Vaga International during the 1970s. The model reference is 7733. It also retains its firing vent hole on the underside, typical of high-end Italian porcelain production of the era.
Anatomically accurate, heavy, and exceptionally well-preserved, the figurine displays a stunning realistic texture, from the fluffiness of the ruff collar to the subtle shading of the paws.
