This is a very rare Rosenthal Borzoi with a base that "No one" has. I purchased this along with some other early German antiques. I was told the owner owned a decorative store back in the 1930's. This was a counter top display piece that would be in a Rosenthal retailer. The dog is mounted on the base. Technically the base is removable. I do not wish to open this up. This is real deal Rosenthal, I don't need to see the bottom to know that. The large piece measures about 16"wide and about 9"h. No condition issues whatsoever. No chips, no cracks, no crazing, no repair. Feel free to email me with any questions regarding this item.
