FWC's 1939 Greenport School Doggy Doorstop with Very Crazy Face painted icon and he and his dog

and he and his dog will snuggle up together next to a fire

and have been especially loving ones that capture late 19th/very early 20th century domestic interiors in great detail

with glaze loss and fleabites just around the perimenter

which I can't look at without thinking of a plate of fried eggs

With a small hole in the belly and two in the back into which a dowel would be stuck in order to make the doll dance (and those shoes are good for clomping)

FWC's 1939 Greenport School Doggy Doorstop with Very Crazy Face painted icon and he and his dogIt's been quite a while since I bought a doggy doorstop but I could not resist the hard trying full of life awkwardness of this one. Quite a face. And is that a black tongue flapping down, or ? The work of a young FWC in 1939 of Greenport School (Long Island?), who looks to have been in the 17th grade! 8 1 4" t x 6 5 8" w x 4 3 8" d and in good, very sturdy and sound condition. Great surface, very sweet.
