This dog was found in a family estate collection with other similarly styled and finished small animal sculptures. One of those pieces bears European-style registration/model markings. However, because this dog itself is unmarked, no specific maker, Austrian origin, Vienna attribution or Franz Bergmann attribution is guaranteed or claimed.
