You can almost see his story in his eyes when you look at this vintage Bulldog. He is in almost perfect condition with only 2 small flakes of paint missing on his back, and one tiny one on the edge of each ear.
You can almost see his story in his eyes when you look at this vintage Bulldog. He is in almost perfect condition with only 2 small flakes of paint missing on his back, and one tiny one on the edge of each ear. For Bulldog lovers, he epitomizes some of the most wonderful characteristics of the breed…faithfulness, compassion, and an incredible talent for observation! The designer of this figurine, Oscar Morten, immigrated from Sweden to the U.S. and opened a giftware studio in Chicago in 1931. Over the next 32 years, he created over 300 popular dog and horse models. Composed of ceramic over a metal skeleton, these figurines, although beautiful and engaging, were prone to crazing and flaking, thus making it difficult, today, to find examples in perfect condition. This Bulldog carries the Mortens Studio stamp on its underside. He sits in a classic Bulldog pose at 3 1/2″ tall x 3″ long x 3 1/2″ wide. Beautiful detailing, his wonderfully “wistful” expression, and soft, subtle coloring, make him a treasure for collectors, or the perfect canine “friend” to grace your desk or bookshelf.
We are so happy this Bulldog found a new home. Would you like to find a vintage or antique dog collectible and bring home your own new friend? Just check out our shop to see our currently available antique and vintage dog collectibles.
