Very Naive, Very Sweet Old Folk Art Smiling Dark Blue with Cream Spots Doggy Doorstop Pottery Craft USA I believe earlyish 19th cIt 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.
