Large and comely Blue Mountain pottery dog in a dark green glaze with deep turquoise on the top section that drips downward. His face is very soulful and he has longer droopy ears. His eyes look like a bit of brown color is there as well. This pottery statue of a dog or puppy is circa 1960s.
The Blue Mountain Pottery Company was a Canadian company located in Collingwood, Ontario. It was founded in 1953 by Dennis Tupy and Jozo Weiderand closed in the early 2000s. The company began by producing items in 1953-1954 including various types of pottery, from animal figurines like this dog to jugs, pots and vases. Blue Mountain Pottery items are collected worldwide, and there is even a Blue Mountain Pottery Collector's Club. What makes Blue Mountain Pottery a bit unique is their trademarked glazing process where two different liquid glazes, one light and one dark in color, were used. As they were fired, the two glazes would run together and make streaks that were different on each piece - while the molds may be the same, the colors on each item are all unique.
Measures about 13 1/2" high and is about 5" wide. Pup is about 7" deep.
In nice vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Little sign of wear - really looks great, especially for a piece that is 50+ years old, a mid century item. The statue has a notch on the bottom that was done in production and is glazed over - see photos for detail.

these items were packed professionally. The dog is in perfect condition and a great companion for the cat I already owned. The glass art handkerchief is also beautiful..also both are great conversation pieces. Very happy with purchases!
