I've seen a lot of older glass dogs like this one that have an opening and were used to contain a variety of items/liquids. But from what I can see this one doesn't have any quality like that. So a date or place found on this one will most likely be necessary in identifying it.
I agree, I think it's a ring keeper. Is it peachy or pink glass? I think that Preston green is color influencing the dog. I'm gonna go out on a limb, and guess on L.E. Smith as the maker.
I could be way off, but that's my best guess. That's gotta be a very tough color to photograph, please show more...
very very nice Sheperdess. At first I thought it could be a ashtray but their are no cig indentations. Like you said - it really looks like something to put your jewelry (rings, etc.) in while on your dresser. Still -it is a very nice piece.
Thanks for the tunes Surf. Nothing like the sound of a bluzee guitar. And Epack, how the heck do you know that window? You've never been in my bedroom!!
