Vintage French Bulldog Figurine on Onyx Trinket Dish / Paperweight

A charming and sophisticated vintage decorative piece featuring a sitting French Bulldog figurine mounted on a solid, polished onyx base. While originally likely intended as an ashtray or catch-all dish due to the recessed curve of the stone, it serves perfectly today as a unique trinket dish, paperweight, or decorative sculpture.

The small, beautifully detailed French Bulldog figure is cast in metal (possibly spelter) and boasts a rich, deep bronze colored patina. The dog is seated in an alert pose, showcasing the characteristic 'bat ears' and compact, muscular features of the breed. The figurine is firmly set upon a substantial onyx base and is perfect for holding small items like keys, jewelry, or coins. The underside is protected with its original green felt.

This piece blends the enduring popularity of the French Bulldog motif with the classic elegance of Art Deco-era design and materials. It makes an excellent addition to a desk, bookshelf, vanity, or side table, especially for the dog lover or collector of vintage animalia. This tray is in excellent vintage condition with minor flaws around the stone edging but no major chips, cracks or breaks to note.
