A vintage 1941-1958 porcelain figurine of an English Setter from Germany Katzhutte Hertwig. The English Setter's tail and one of his legs are up, as if he is ready to run/jump.

Production included doll heads, pipe stubs and figurines. WWI and World Economic Crises enforced reduction of product range to fine earthenware. In 1960 the company was converted into a state-owned company, the VEB Zierkeramik Katzhütte. The product range was cut back to decoration ceramics only. In 1990 the factory was closed.
