Occupied Japan Ceramic Toothache Dog Figurine c. 1945–1952 | MIOJ Collectible

This ceramic dog figurine — stamped "Made in Occupied Japan," dating it to 1945–1952 — depicts a sad-faced terrier with a blue bandage wrapped around his swollen jaw. A classic toothache pup, a beloved motif in vintage novelty ceramics. He sits with that stoic, long-suffering expression of someone waiting for the dentist. CONDITION: Good for age. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. Minor age-appropriate soiling on the unglazed base. Please review all photos carefully — they form part of the description.
