Early Jane Callender Dog OOAK Blue Bedlington Terrier - RARE - Extruded Clay Spaghetti Dog Signed

Perfect for a collector! This is a very rare early Jane Callender dog figurine, signed by the artist. This is a blue Bedlington Terrier (also a rare breed) and as you can see by the dog photo it is a close match. She did a few in white and even fewer in blue. The color looks blue-grey in person and has a purplish tone up close. This piece is probably from the 1940s, her early work was signed, later she moved to stamps and labels. Only a very few of these dogs have come up for sale in the last 15 years.

Jane produced most of her figurines in the 1940s & 50s. She was widowed at a young age and used her clay/ceramic creations to support herself and her children. She had a studio in Los Angeles. She was known for her extruded clay/spaghetti work.

Condition: Excellent. It is unusual to find these intact but this one has no defects that I can see. There is one spot at the base of the neck (see photos) that is missing spaghetti but I don't see any evidence of broken pieces, I think there was never anything there - this is consistent with her style.

Approx. size: 6.5" l x 5.5" h x 3" w
