Description

NOTE: The consignor believes this to be the last of the dog sculptures with NO damage. This entirely hand-sculpted ceramic figural group of 2 male hounds wrestling with a yellow rope is signed Blair 1991 and measures 4” tall x 12 1/2” x 5” and has irresistable energy and nicely executed details. John Blair (1925-2015) was a long-time Kokomo, Indiana resident and supervisor at American Standard/Ceramics division (they made toilets and sinks)…so he knew his ceramics from the ground up. Largely self-taught, for over 40 years he produced whimsical, hand crafted figures for friends and family. Dogs were his favorite subject (he knew these from the ground up as well: he and his wife were obedience trainers/ companion dog trainers) and he imbues his creations with the joy and personality that only one who loves dogs can fully appreciate. These guys are dirty and ready for a new home. I see no breaks or repairs and they REALLY need a good bath. See our other sales for more examples from this artist’s delightful oeuvre.
