Fabulous 80s style Painted Wood Dog Cutout vintage Burmese box fine decoration is hand engraved

fine decoration is hand engraved on the surface

including featured on the cover of Ceramics Monthly

I might use it on the table or even bring it on a camping trip

What I find especially intruiging about it are the cartoonish pyrograph designs

and a few spots where the grass has darkened a bit - all as documented

Fabulous 80s style Painted Wood Dog Cutout vintage Burmese box fine decoration is hand engravedThis dog! I'm obsessed with it! I am not entirely sure if it is one of a kind or if there were a number of these produced, but either way I think it's pretty terrific. It seems quintessentially 1980s to me, and reminds me a bit of the cats of Laurel Burch. I just love the colorful hand painted patterning, the squiggly line for a mouth, and then that eye ball looking out of the corner of the eye! How not to feel happy with this guy around??!! 9 1 2"
