The Japanese must love their Chinese zodiac because many of the animals from Japan I own have been made as part of a zodiac series.
These are by Kurata Glass and typically well modelled.
Kurata's animals are generally a bit more serious than Marti's take on things but still very appealing.
I really love my chimp here, he's so real, and the dog looks just like it should for the breed it is (which I can't remember but you will!).
12cm (4.5in) and 17cm (7in)
Oooooo - La - LA......Beautiful karen!! Love them!!
Is the Dog a Pug or a Akita ???? Not sure ??

Now go to bed Rose.....
...or maybe just the Foo Dog Breed.
Very very Nice Glass !!
Awww....why do that, and miss you guys !!
These are so beautiful !!
Handsome grouping, Karen, very nice! Thanks for sharing! :)
I have to say Karen, I have just loved your other dogs, so now I'm giving these a love. Are these two Japanese Akita's.
Thanks again Katherine.
Yes Jean, Akita is one, the other a chimp or gorilla or some other ape (football player?). Thanks!
It's really funny I didn't pick up on the Chimp/Gorilla it's funny how your brain plays tricks on you.
Another beautiful pair Karen! Luv 'em!
its not a foo dog...lol
they are sweet Karen, very sweet. I have a finer appreciation for them as I have the Murano owls and swans sitting next to me now when I work and I find myself looking at them just like I do, my vases....
Do you have many animals?
Personally I'd love to collect cats like my mother did...
