Description: Offering a vintage Mortens Studio Cocker Spaniel dog 7" long figurine with the original label on the underside and back. There is a small paint flake on her side and one eye. She's a little dirty, I haven't attempted to clean her. Measures approximately 7" long and 5 1/4" tall. Please see photographs as they are part of the description. "Mortens Studios, a line of finely crafted figural sculptures, were produced for a short two decades, in sharp contrast to other creators of animal figurines that produced fine ceramics and porcelain for many decades, some even inching closer to a century of production. What distinguishes these from porcelain or ceramic figures (think Beswick or Doulton) is the technique: his sculptures begin with a metal and wire frame over which is pressed and shaped a plaster/ceramic mixed medium. Each is then painted and glazed. There is scant material on Mortens Studios, making the history just that much more intriguing. Oscar Mortens immigrated from Sweden to Illinois after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and the Berlin Academy of Art. He opened his studio at the beginning of the 1930s and from there created sculptures, mostly small, until about 1950. (So little information exists about him and what happened after he closed his studio may be lost in time.) In addition to busts and lamps, he became known for companion animals in the later years."
