Another Old Friend With A New Home – CRM-J111
This large, Mortens Studio, Kerry Blue Terrier looks quite fancy, but this wonderful breed is the quintessential working dog, first bred in County Kerry, Ireland.
This large, Mortens Studio, Kerry Blue Terrier looks quite fancy, but this wonderful breed is the quintessential working dog, first bred in County Kerry, Ireland.
The designer of this figurine, Oscar Morten, immigrated from Sweden to the U.S. and opened a gift ware 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.
Measuring 5″ tall x 6″ long x 2 1/2″ wide, this wonderful dog is in excellent condition. As he is both large, and one of the more “hard-to-find” Morten Studio dogs, he will certainly be a fabulous addition to any Mortens Studio collection and the perfect addition to the home of any Kerry Blue Terrier owner, trainer or breeder.
We are so happy this Kerry Blue Terrier 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.
