Wonderful Large Black and White Folk Art Cutout Dog, with Mends silver and glass this hand thrown studio pottery

this hand thrown studio pottery vase delivers a pure dose of loveliness

is signed (incised) Mottahedeh on the underside and features its original sticker

I don't believe it is very old (I found another with the same fox and a pewter lid being sold online by a German importer)

One assumes the five little wooden chips stamped with horses 1-5 are to be used to place bets on where the ball will land

Wonderful Large Black and White Folk Art Cutout Dog, with Mends silver and glass this hand thrown studio potterySuch a great one, beautifully aged, and all the better for the loving old stapled split repair running along the top of his legs, and with a wonderful face that gives him a bit of a seal like aspect, too. I also really love the zig zag of the cutout emulating fur. Pure love. 15" tall (10 1 4" not including post), 14 3 4" long, 7 8" thick. Sturdy and stable and could be propped or hung on the wall.
