A LARGE CANDYCONTAINER IN THE SHAPE OF A SEATED DOG
German, circa 1900
An exceptionally detailed papier-mâché dog, an English Setter (?), in a sitting position. Hand painted with the original glass eyes. Head is removable to store candy in body. The red leather collar does not originally belong to the dog, but it holds the head a little more firmly in place ánd it looks rather good on him.
