1980 John Rega Dog Figurine. Measures about 3.5" in height by 3.5" wide. Fair condition. Has some scrapes and a chip shown in photo.
A wonderfully expressive and comical sad-eyed hound dog figurine by artist John Reya, dated 1980. This piece perfectly captures the humorous and melancholic style popular in the era, with exaggerated droopy jowls, a big red nose, and signature mournful eyes that are full of personality. The figurine is crafted from a heavy resin with a textured, wood-like finish.
Please note, this piece is in fair vintage condition and is being sold as-is. It has been well-loved and shows visible signs of its history, including several scrapes and a chip on the back of one ear, which are documented in the photographs. This time-worn character adds to its rustic charm.
This figurine is a fantastic gift for a collector of vintage figurines, a basset hound enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates quirky animal art. It's a perfect conversation starter and a great accent for a desk, bookshelf, or man cave, guaranteed to add a dose of humorous personality to your decor.
This item is vintage, over 45 years old. While it appears to be in fair condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
