Very Naive, Very Sweet Old Folk Art Smiling Dark Blue with Cream Spots Doggy Doorstop Pottery Craft USA which can be really greatIt was beyond me to say no to this face. About as naive as a folk art doorstop could be. And that paint is this great dark blue. With nice alligatoring to the cream, too. A little charmer. 5 7 8" t x 4 5 8" w x 3 1 2" d. Good condition, c. 1920s 30s I believe. Some wear bit of loss to the stopper wedge itself, which makes the dog lean back just a hair beyond flush, no matter.
