Product Overview

This classic Victor Nipper Dog ceramic figurine is a commemorative promotional piece released for the 100th anniversary of the original Nipper painting, model number VN-220. Nipper is most famously recognized as the white terrier tilting his head to listen to a gramophone, a beloved emblem deeply rooted in the visual culture of Victor, JVC, and "His Master's Voice." Rather than a standard retail item, this piece was produced as a promotional novelty for the "Nice Day Tokimeki Sale" campaign. Calculated around the 1889 origin of the original artwork, this collectible dates to approximately 1989. Accompanied by its original outer box and His Master's Voice card, it is a rewarding find for collectors of Shōwa-era Japanese corporate design, vintage audio culture, and rare promotional artifacts.

JBuyLiving Picks

We love this Nipper Dog not merely for its nostalgic silhouette, but for the tangible piece of audio and record history it preserves. This isn’t a modern reproduction, but an actual promotional piece crafted for Nipper’s centennial celebration. Preserved alongside its original box and His Master’s Voice card, it reads less like a simple decorative ornament and more like a compact, character-filled design archive.
