Features & Specifications: Maker/Brand: Mortens Studio Item type: figurine pair (adult and puppy) Subject: Brittany Spaniel and puppy Material: ceramic over metal skeleton (Durostone technique) Dimensions: standing adult 4 3/4" tall x 5 1/2" long x 2" wide; reclining puppy 2" tall x 5" long x 1 3/4" wide Country of origin: United States (Chicago) Mortens Studio was established in Chicago in 1931 by Swedish immigrant Oscar Morten, who sculpted more than 300 dog and horse models before the studio's run ended decades later. Figures were built over a wire skeleton finished in ceramic, a technique that produced expressive, lifelike poses but also left many surviving pieces prone to crazing and flaking. Matched sets like this mother-and-puppy Brittany Spaniel pairing are considered especially scarce, since both pieces had to survive the decades together in equally strong condition. Condition: Extraordinary condition, both pieces Included: One standing Brittany Spaniel figurine One reclining puppy figurine Packed with care for safe delivery. Condition: Used.
