Vtg Mortens Studio Royal Designs Airedale Welsh Terrier Dog w Sticker Barking

Description

This adorable dog figurine likely hails from the 1940s and has its original sticker which reads "Royal Designs - The Mortens Studio." It is also stamped underneath "Copyright by the Mortens Studio." It measures 3" tall by approximately 2" wide. His little open mouth is so detailed - he even has teeth, markings on the roof and what looks like saliva at the back of his throat (tried to capture this in photos). A real work of art. He has no noted chips, cracks, crazing or repairs. Mortens Studio was founded in the 1930s by Oscars Mortens, who had just moved to the United States from Sweden. His partner was Gunnar Thelin, and together they produced figurines of dogs, cats, wild animals and horses. The figurines were made out of a plaster like material over a wire frame. Morten Studios has been out of production for many years; most pieces are marked with either an ink stamp or a paper label or, in this case, both!
