The Bitossi Miniature Dachshund Figure has an immediate, slightly cheeky charm to it. Part of the Rimini Blu collection, it plays with the dachshund’s long, low shape and brings it into that familiar Bitossi language of texture and deep, shifting blue glaze. It feels light-hearted, but still carefully made.

Each piece starts as white earthenware, slip cast and then worked entirely by hand. The surface is engraved while the clay is still fresh, using stencils and traditional tools that leave behind those layered, slightly irregular patterns. When the crystalline glaze goes on, it settles into every mark and changes subtly as it dries, so the finish never feels flat or uniform. That slight variation is really part of what makes them enjoyable to look at.

It’s not a piece that needs styling. It just sits somewhere in the home and quietly settles in, whether that’s a shelf, a stack of books, or a small corner you pass every day. Simple, a bit characterful, and easy to live with in a way that feels unforced.
