When my Mom passed this year, we found a box of my Grandmother's dog collectibles. All of them were wrapped in Miami newspaper dated 1963 so everything in the box we knew was older than 1964 at least (all of them wrapped in the same newspaper and since only one 'layer' was used..some of them were regrettably damaged).
I'm not an expert on dog breeds, nor collectibles. I first found this site when I started looking for help in identifying the vintage costume jewelry I inherited from both my Mother and Grandmother...I'm still not finished posting all of that. MANY kind people patiently helped me identify them and educate me.
I love the cute facial expression on this one. I'm calling it a basset hound but am unsure. Trying to figure out if he is next to a 'keg' or what. There was a mark/info on bottom that I've posted. Any help with verifying breed and possible decade is appreciated!!
This planter was made by Shawnee Pottery. It is known as "Hound and Jug." It measures 4" in height. Not sure of the year of production on this piece. Shawnee Pottery was in business from 1937 until they closed in 1961.
