Charming vintage ceramic spaghetti poodle figurine portrayed as Sherlock Holmes. This whimsical pink detective wears a glossy black deerstalker-style cap and holds a curved black pipe. His coat is decorated with hand-applied ceramic “spaghetti” curls, a popular feature of mid-century novelty figurines from the 1950s and 1960s.

A wonderfully unusual piece of retro décor for collectors of vintage poodles, Sherlock Holmes memorabilia, detective-themed collectibles, and mid-century ceramic kitsch.

Condition: Displays noticeable age-related wear and scattered losses to the delicate applied spaghetti trim, especially around the body, legs, and face. There may also be roughness or a small loss around the pipe opening. Please examine the photographs carefully for the most accurate representation of condition. No maker’s mark has been confirmed.
