I was surfing the big online "Decor / Figurines" stores and I came across these puppies on BradfordExchange.com and had to share. They only have a few breeds like shown above, and there's also a white cat in a flow blue teacup (not shown). I'm imagining a likeness of my red toy poodle in one of those cups; oh, well.
A Cup Of Love Figurine
"Hand-painted with textural details including realistic-looking fur and a "porcelain glaze" on the teacup, simulated jewel accents. Limited edition. Measures approximately 3-1/2" tall."
This is a pair of birds sitting on a branch with two eggs in their nest below. One green bird and one yellow bird with yellow bellies. Marked "George Good Corporation".
Written on the base is "God Bless Our Little Love Nest". The base is also in the shape of a heart. Measures 2-1/2" tall x 2-1/2" long. No breaks.
S O L D
I have a reindeer and sleigh planter or candy dish with foil sticker "Dickson, Made in Japan". Sleigh is done in textured "snow" and the rest is cold-painted so their are spots of missing paint.
Opening measures 3-1/4" long x 2-1/2" wide.
The total measurement is 5-1/4" tall x 10" long x 3-1/2" wide. No breaks or repairs.

Glossary ~
Porcelain
Usually white or light gray in color, porcelain is the highest quality of ceramic ware there is. Composed of clay, feldspar and flint, it is very durable despite the fact that it can appear quite delicate, and is fired at a very high temperature
Bone China
Bone china is a type of porcelain made from clay mixed with bone ash and is characterized by its strength, translucency and warm white color. It fires at a lower temperature than true porcelain.
China
Also known as kaolin, is a white soft clay derived from the decomposition of granite. China clay stands up to high temperatures in the kiln.
Ceramic
Made by shaping and then firing clay, a nonmetallic mineral, at a high temperature in which it produces a hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant product.
Back Stamps ~
Limited edition (LE): A decorative collectible may be limited by a specific, announced number (such as 5,000 or 10,000) or by time period. Limited edition items typically show two sets of numbers, usually on the base of the item. The higher number indicates the total number produced while the lower number indicates which one you have. Limited editions often come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Firing limit: Companies such as Avon, Bing & Grondahl, Bradford Exchange, Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, Hamilton Collection, Knowles, and Royal Copenhagen and others can choose to set a firing limit, meaning that they only make an item during a specified number of firing days. A series of items with a lower firing limit typically has fewer items produced, which often makes the item more desirable to collectors.
Annual edition: are produced for one year.
Open edition: are not limited and could still be in production
