What distinguishes these from porcelain or ceramic figures (think Beswick or Doulton) is the technique: his sculptures begin with a metal and wire frame over which is pressed and shaped a plaster/ceramic mixed medium. Each is then painted and glazed.
Early Mortens figurines have an embedded label that says Copyright by the Mortens Studio. Later pieces were stamped on painted bases.
The dog has a lot of crazing. Nothing is broken- just lots of paint crazing. Has a few small chips in places. Ears have paint loss, so you can see the metal.
