Rare Vintage Mortens Studio Begging Fox Terrier Figurine – Pristine 1930s Early Era

Presenting an exceptional, early-era treasure for the advanced studio collector or terrier connoisseur: an authentic mid-century composition figurine of a begging Fox Terrier from the celebrated Mortens Studio of Chicago.

Measuring approximately 4 1/2 inches tall, 1 3/4 inches long, and 3 inches deep, this piece boasts the signature heavy weight and robust scale typical of the studio’s finest early-era production. Masterfully sculpted under the direction of Swedish-born artist Oscar Mortens, this figurine perfectly captures the playful, intelligent character of the Fox Terrier, featuring an endearing upright begging posture, alert folded ears, and beautifully hand-painted tricolor markings.

The fragile plaster-and-clay composition used by the studio means that pieces in this immaculate, damage-free condition are incredibly scarce. The high-gloss glaze shows excellent depth with no chips, flaking, or repairs, and the underside proudly displays the crisp, authentic round ink copyright stamp.
