Vintage Ceramic Folk Art Dog Figurine | Blue Gray Southern Face Jug Style Decor
$34.99
This small ceramic folk art dog figure has a wonderfully expressive face: bulging reddish-orange eyes, pointed ears, wrinkled features, and a wide open mouth.
It has that Southern folk art “face jug” feeling in miniature form — a little odd, a little watchful, and not trying to be polished.
