I am down to the last few planters I was keeping, and he is one of them. I heard once that someone told the Asians painting ceramics that brindle was kind of striped marks, and you see some that look more like zebras. This does have a striped effect for sure, He is very cute and I kept it as I always said that two of my Scotties were joined at the hip. How I miss that! This planter is about 5 inches long and 3 1/4 tall and measures 2 3/4 inches wide when measuring their 4 front legs. I see no issues on them. Thank for looking and please check in often as I still have lots more to list big and small, expensive to cheap. You don't want to miss any of it. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
