Italy, ca. 1940 White pulegoso glass with heavily snipped and tooled body. 5" l, 4 3/4" h (12.5, 12cm)
Sculpted and tooled animals, with their oftentimes great detail, proved very popular in the period immediately preceding and immediately after World War II. Executed in white pulegoso glass, this dog figure has a wonderful texture that imitates fur.
