Mortens Studio, the Chicago giftware maker founded in 1931 by Swedish immigrant Oscar Morten, is best known for its free-standing dog and horse figurines, which makes a wall plaque like this one an unusual format within the line. The dog is sculpted in raised relief against the backing, angled as though he is about to step out of the frame, a striking composition that stands apart from the studio's more common seated and standing figures. A small metal loop on the reverse lets it hang securely as part of a canine wall gallery or on its ready-to-hang condition overall
