Height 4.5 in., Width 2.75 in., Depth 3 in. Weight 1 lb. 15.2 oz. Signed Orrefors on underside. This solid molded crystal figurine by Orrefors of Sweden depicts a seated puppy or young dog in a compact rounded form, the head slightly bowed with long pendulous ears flanking the face -- likely a spaniel or hound breed -- the body simplified into smooth organic volumes that capture and refract light through the solid glass mass in the manner characteristic of Orrefors molded crystal animal figures. Orrefors produced a celebrated range of animal figurines in clear crystal throughout the mid to late 20th century, designed with the clean Scandinavian modernist sensibility that prioritized pure form and optical clarity over decorative surface detail, allowing the crystal itself to animate the subject through internal light reflection and refraction. The seated posture, bowed head and long ears give the figure a quietly endearing character, the rounded paws and compact body lending it a sculptural solidity appropriate to the heavy lead crystal medium.
