Ceramic Basset Hound Figurine, Brown, Black and White. Fleischer-Smith 1959. EC

This is a vintage Fleischman Smith Basset Hound figurine, produced in California around 1959. These figurines are made of ceramic and are known for their distinctive glazed finish and droopy, sad eyes. The figurine pictured appears to be in good condition, though some may have minor imperfections due to age, such as crazing in the glaze. A larger figurine at 8.5 inches wide, he is absolutely as cute as can be. Mouth and nostrils are open.
