Colorful Moehling Dog & Cart Majolica Smokeset, 1875 You are looking at an exceptional Johann Moehling (Aich, Bohemia, 1849 - 1875) smokeset featuring a dog and cart.

The one in the illustration is the more common and less desireable monochome version. This one is from Moehling's later production and displays his fully developed skills in molding and color glaze application and development. Among the finest of his production. It is 8.5 inches wide and 5.25 inches high.

Good condition, with a professional repair to the dog's neck
