Frosted Pressed Glass Seated Dog Figure Paperweight

Antique-style pressed glass animal figures occupy a special place in decorative glass collecting, and this frosted seated dog is a particularly fine and detailed example with the kind of quiet, cabinet-worthy presence that rewards close inspection.

Modelled as a seated long-haired dog on a scalloped circular base, this frosted pressed glass figure displays detailed moulded fur texture and a soft pale tint to the glass. The quality of the moulding and the frosted finish give it a refined, antique character consistent with late 19th to early 20th century pressed glass production. Animal-form pressed glass figures of this quality are increasingly difficult to find in good condition, and the seated dog form is one of the most enduringly popular subjects in the category. Whether displayed in a glass cabinet, on a mantelpiece or alongside other pressed glass pieces, this figure has the kind of understated charm that makes it a lasting addition to any collection. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
