Elongated dachshund dog figurine 1950s ceramic vintage

Product Description
This upright dachshund dog figurine is full of personality and pizazz. The pose--it's not begging. More like announcing its presence. Look! I'm here. What now?

The figurine is unmarked but looks like made in Japan and the elongated neck is definitely late 50s. It has no chips or cracks but a few very slight bits of paint loss on the back. The white spots in the photo however are flash reflections. The dog is white clay ceramic and has a cold painted unglazed finish. Just so cute at 9 inches high.
