FOX TERRIER FRENCH CERAMIC 14 INCH SCULPTURE, Ca. 1930

Description

This FRENCH stoneware FOX TERRIER  is realistically  sculpted and nearly life size --  14 inches tall, with a detailed coat in gold, royal blue and white glazes.
Large black glass eyes glaze out of a handsome muzzle detailed with a  black nose, handsome mouth and topped with the typical darker forward  folded   navy and black ears.
This is a big boy dog - 14 inches tall by 19 1/2 inches nose to the flat  terrier tail, by 8 inches deep - proud and ready for Westminster!   Signed in worn black paint on belly:   "MADE IN FRANCE".   He is solid and heavy, over 10 pounds.  Glazes meld nicely on the sculpture.
Good condition commensurate with age -made in the 1920s or 1930s with a strong Art Deco influence and a period in which Fox Terriers were especially desirable as fashionable pets and subjects of jewelry and home decor.
