Found one more little puppy dog salt!!!!

Too late you guys! Mary told me my name is already on his "bottom." HAH!!

Mary, you will have to fight me too Mary. I love this one and have never seen it before. There must be more out there, but I have never seen one.

Debi, You'll have to fight me for Mary's little doggie. It sure looks like a "Golden" to me!!!

Jersey Joan

Oh Mary....I LOVE him. That is the one you have that my name goes on!!!!

Debi

A smaller version of my favorite puppy dog..............

Sandy: I love him! I like all the green and white pieces but have never seen a Bulldog, just a kind of generic white dog.
Jane

I love this guy and had to have him because my youngest daughter bought herself an old English bulldog when she got her master's degree in physical therapy. He was such a cute puppy. Now he is older and he absolutely loves their outdoor inground pool. He is in it all the time. He is a strange sight with his huge big yellow life jacket on. His name is Ezekial Adonis (yes, right)Jzyk. Beth named him with those initials because those are hers. And yes, she is a bit kooky.

German bulldog salt

Debi -

When I bought my lovely bulldog salt at my first (only) convention I didn't know of your "blue" attraction :) - I think I was lucky to spy him first!!

Sandy -

I totally understand; I've done the same myself :) - but he likes all his dog friends here too :)

Sandy: Well, I'M SORRY you sold it to Susie. I love that cobalt one! Just kidding but I wouldn't mind finding another for me.

I think I fixed the image problem for now so if there's any dog salts to add, please feel free.

Debi

OOOOPS!!! I didn't mean that I was sorry I sold it to you exactly but that I sold it at all. Thought I better make that clear.

I can't believe that I forgot all about the dog site. It was fun to see them all. I have a German Pink Pig one with a bulldog on it. It may be a little bit bigger than some, but we have a granddog English bulldog so I had to have it. I won't post it as I understand that you are out of room. Susie P. I have to admit that I am sorry that I sold that bulldog salt to you LOL. It had the green stones in its collar and eyes. Oh well.

I just got on this "dog" site and all I can say is WOW. I mean "BOW WOW."
I can't believe there are so many neat dog salts! I enjoyed seeing every
ones dogs and all the pictures. Brenda- the one of you and your little
"doggie" is so cute!! Condolences to all who lost their dear friends. I only have a grand-dog and am babysitting her at this moment. We also dog-sit three other cute dogs. (have a fenced in back yard) Yvonne

Caledonia (aka Callie) fills a void better than any of us could have imagined.

Our darling Jimmy... ran right up to the rainbow bridge in June 2007.

Oh, Joan! Please know that you are, and have been, in our thoughts and prayers! You got me through my losses, and know I am here for you ~ anytime at all!

Hugs! Lisa

Joan,

A Huge Hug to you - I Know you are hurting - and have been there with my Kitty Kat loves..........truly members of our families - Keeping you in my thoughts,

Susie

Oh Joan--I'm so sorry!!

Brenda

To Joan - I am so sorry about the loss of your beloved little ones - after that many years they are your children and no one can take their place. Sue R

Joan lost Colby on 7-14-09. He was 15 years old.

Joan lost her great friend Chip on 6-25-09. He was 17 years old.

Hey Joan...
THANKS !!! The time you saved me will let me go over the convention pictures once again and drool all over my keyboard once more !!!

Thanks again... "The Salty Nut"... P.J.

Debi,
Colby is hanging in there...poor little guy. I think he is doing better than I am. I have to keep waking him up every three hours to give him more meds.

P.J.,
Love your Collie in the jeweled holder. I'll save you the trouble of looking back for the brass cleaner...it's "Wright's Brass Cleaner" and you can usually find it in any supermarket. Let me know if you want me to pick up a bottle and send it to you. It works magic on brass and it's safe for all your stones, even pearls!

Jersey Joan

Sorry, I guess we can't do that. We have reached our picture space limit per topic. That's why it's rather important to crop and make them a smaller size...so we have space for more pictures. I guess we'll just have to change topics tomorrow. Let's do cats and if anyone cannot crop or resize their pictures, email them to me and I'll send them back so you can still post them yourself.

Debi

Joan: I forgot about the little puppy pin dish you gave me. It's with my "Golden" stuff. (Hope Colby is doing better.) But it gave you a chance to post the picture of the two different ones. Love that intaglio holder and I'm not even a collector of those. I know, more for you guys. LOL

Dogs on salts is really slowing down here...Maybe we should show pics of our real life pups now, including the Rainbow Bridge pups.

Debi

Delft toothpick holder. Gotta love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noritake pin dishes. Fits in well with open salt collection!

Czech Jeweled Brass Holder w/two Intaglios.

Hi All,

I'm a little late on posting and have tons of dog intaglios, but I believe most have already been posted so I will only post a picture of one in a jeweled holder. Also, will post a couple of Noritake pieces that are in fact "pin dishes", but fit in nicely with a salt collection. And last but not least I just have to post a Delft toothpick holder (Sorry Debi, but at least it's blue) because the puppy is just sooooooooo darn cute!!

Jersey Joan

a few of my dog salts

Collie?

Hi All...
Well... I just have to add one more dog salt...
The Stones around him are "semi-precious"... Jade, Coral, Lapis, Malichite - I know I'm a terrible speller... anyway... there are 4 large stones and 4 small stones around the base - then one on the top of each "hold down" clamp...

I have to try and polish him up... I'll have to go back in time and find out the best way to do this... I know we've had this discussion on the chat room before... just have to find it...

Later all... "The Salty Nut"... P.J.

The only dog I could find. Most probably an eggcup but fits in with my figurals

This topic of Dogs on Salts runs through the 15th of July so there's still plenty of time for anyone to take and post any other pictures we haven't seen yet. Are we getting ready for cats next? Or something else?

Debi

Thank you all who have contributed to the identification of the unidentified Pomeranian - Pekinese or Tibetan Spaniel intaglio. I am not very knowledgeble on the species of dogs. We hda mostly hunters. But when we retired in 1984 to go full time RV'ing, Fred said he was "giving away everything that eats". Thankfully, I was exempted from that proculamation!! (Our childern, grandchildern and greatgranson, are OK too.)
Now all we collect is salts, intaglios, and marbles.
Lorraine

I have been traveling to dog shows and missed this topic of dog salts. The dog in question looks to me like either a Pekingese or a Tibetan Spaniel. I will try to post photos of my dog salts later today.
Sam

Lyleann: Now I know! I always thought it was a Pekinese.
Jane

Lorraine,
Yes, Debi is correct that is a Pomeranian. My Aunt had one for upteen years. Little and very yippy.

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze91fyp/id2.html
Are these adorable, or WHAT!!!! She does all sorts of animals.

Happened to see it when I googled Pomeranian dog images. (Not sure about the salts being a Pomeranian.)

Debi

This is my favorite, looks just like our dog Tim, from before our traveling days

Here's a greyhound for Donna

I'm going to guess Pomeranian but I could be very wrong. LOL

Debi

Sorry, this one isn't very clear.

Can someone tell me what this is?

Wow... the fun goes on! Judy in TX... I have never seen that intaglio with the woman and the dog. It's wonderful! Cathy... I have a sub-collection of horse/riding related salts, and I don't know that I have that intaglio of yours. I need to go and check - but it's in a dark room and it's late. Tomorrow... I do love it!

That is the link to all the Boyd covered salts. Looks like they have been making the Scottie Dog since 2003.

Debi

Dog intaglio 3

Dog Intaglio 2

Dog intaglio 1

I was thinking I didn't have any dog salts, then I discovered I had 3 intaglios with dogs, and they don't seem to be any that others have posted.

Cathy

Hi P.J. I love your little Boyd dog. Fred and I were there at Boyds years and years ago too, but didn't see any dogs. We bought some swans in different colors, but I've never seen a Boyd dog before.
Lorraine

Hi All...
Olen & I toured a lot of glass "houses" on our way home from Cherry Hill convention (a million years ago !!!) We got this little puppy at the Boyd foundry... A gentleman who introduced himself as "Mr Boyd" was sitting at a bench painting them at the time... He said the foundry was shut down because of the heat of the summer and he had to be doing something... so, he was filling in and painting...

Heck, I wouldn't know Mr Boyd if I fell over him... so he could have been just humoring us... but, he's my little covered puppy... I had a black cat at the time and thought he would be a good partner...

Later... "The Salty Nut"... P.J.

Got this at the Boyd factory.

Hi Judy in Texas,

I love your favorite dog intaglio - I have never seen that - it has such great detail :) - Love it!

Susie

Common intaglio with shepheard...or wolf/coyote??

This is one I had but sold.

This is one of my favorite intaglios with a dog.

I think this guy is a wired haired terrior.

Nina: It's pretty small. You can just get a spoon into it.
Jane

Yup, this is fun...We will stick to the more common things for now so we get people comfortable with posting their pictures. If anyone still has trouble doing this, please email me at DRaitz@aol.com and I can either crop and downsize your pictures and return them or see if we can figure out what's wrong with uploading.

Lorraine: LOVE the Martel faience double dog! I bet Donna does too since it looks like a Greyhound!

Debi

I am loving this topic! What fun to see all the pups. Lorraine... the handsome boy in your second photo is OBVIOUSLY unhappy with the silly collar his owners have tormented him into wearing. But that makes US find him ADORABLE! Love the first two in particular. Jane - what is the size of the salt bowl on your dog made of salt? Can you fit a spoon in that bowl? It looks tiny.

Salt Glaze Dog Salt - appears to be a Cocker Spaniel

Bronze Dog Salt

Hi: I have a lot of dog salts, especially intaglios, but these were two pictures I could find easily.

The first is a bronze German shepherd sitting beside a bronze dogwood blossom, both with a green finish. The blossom is the holder for the plain round emerald green pressed salt. Master size.
The second is one of the most unusual salt glaze dogs I've ever seen.
Jane

oh, LOVE the amber dog from Czechoslovakia - Wonderful!!! And Inez, the "double dogs" are darling! and this from a person owned by 2 cats, HA! Love the animals, both dogs and cats!!!

Lorraine ~ love the color of the aqua blue dog! Hope you and Fred are doing well.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Have a fun & safe weekend!

Lisa :)

Lorraine, They are wonderful !!!!

Another French Dog salt.

SV dogs, one of each head position, raised and straight.

another Saltware dog

this might be a candy container

This cutie was made in Czecho Slovakia between 1918 and 1938

marked S V (Vallerysthal)

Close-up of the dog on the other in OSC #771

In OSC 771

French Faience - Geo. Martel

"Germany 1950" impressed

These two could have gotten out if they only knew the back was open!

"Austria" is impressed on back

"Germany" impressed, but these puppies aren't!

This guy is a little happier here

another sad one. This is marked Germany with numbers

I think I must have bought most of my dogs because I felt sorry for them. These first two are decidedly unhappy!

Sad dog

Susie: I would call them foxes too. Wolves look more like German Shepherds and your intaglios have that narrow snout. They sure are cute.

Debi

oh, you may be right - looking at the pictures on the screen I think they are foxes, their snouts? are narrower? ooh, and I love foxes - say no more - HA!

oh Nina -

Can I come to your house and play? LOL - what lovely salts/holders - a dangerous weakness of mine - and the blue is gorgeous.

And again, appreciate the info - I wouldn't have even known (until later) that there should be an insert - Yikes!

And Joan's brass cleaner has sure helped clean a LOT of my holders - bless you Joan!

What about foxes???

Another beagle/hunt scene in holder that makes it really tough to see.

wolves?

Boxers or bull dogs in jeweled holder.

What's this about wolves? lol Were they in sheep's clothing? Did you post a photo of it, Suzie?

Debi is right about the condiments... My Imari set with the dog head has a removable liner in the mustard pot. I think Sandy had this same set without that liner, and it always sort of drove her crazy.

Debi -

Thanks for the tip - and yes, I think I will be watching another area now - in my spare time - HA! they are so different - also I just got these wolves?dogs and I think they are awesome - had not seen them before - but of course, there's loads I haven't seen :)

Similar intaglio in sad condition... Just resized some of my images in PhotoShop

Oh, Suzie... I love all your Czech pieces with the dogs! (I need to steer clear of them though... like you, I guess, I can't get into collecting ANYTHING else!)

Debi - Love that condiment set! The dog seems to be sitting in there almost like in a dog house. how cool! I bet the maker is related somehow to the maker of mine. Don't you think? Those heads are so similar.

I was going to post an intaglio holder VERY similar to yours, Suzie, but in not so hot condition. I can't bear to part with it though because the little dog looks like a beagle to me. I love mine, too. It looks like the little boy is getting ready to toss that stick. Doesn't it? I need to find some jewels - and maybe give mine a coat of gold leaf... It's in rather horrendous condition!

Susie: Really neat dogs on perfumes too! I wouldn't mind owning those but something tells me they aren't cheap. Crossover collectibles are always more in demand because different groups want them. Dogs on anything will probably get more attention than a plain version of the same object.

You would do well to buy some condiment sets now. I think the market is soft on them and you can pick them up rather inexpensively. Just always make sure you have the mustard insert and not just the cover because some were designed that way. The white and gold set is five separate china pieces including a spoon.

Debi

jeweled child and dog salt

stopper with dog head

dangle bottle

Nina,

I had to have the little czech bull dog on the blue salt; most of you know I also collect czech perfumes; and many of the dangle bottles have them and I have another more rare; I will include a photo just to show you - just love the dogs :) and no, don't have a favorite breed; but many of the czech dogs are bulldogs; so I have tended that way. I will also show a intaglio with a boy and his dog; just love it! and I am developing a liking for all these condiment sets! Wow! so many different choices - oh no, not another area - Yikes!

I love that cobalt salt with the little white bulldog but I don't know why I keep thinking it has something to do with Westmoreland Glass. The ones shown in OSC 771 are listed as unidentified.

Debi

Dog head on china condiment set.

Ooops... I meant that your enameled one looks like a BOXER - not a bull... Geesh. Back to work for me!

I have always wanted one of those little Czech salts with the bulldog, Suzie. That is a sweet one with the metal collar and all. I also love your bull dog! I was trying to post a photo of a double in holder I have that has the same intaglio only in blue without the enameling. I really like your enameled one. I had always described my blue ones as French Bull Dogs. But seeing yours all enameled like that, I think it looks like am Standard Bull Dog. Do any of you dog experts know? Anyway - interesting that both of yours are bulls... Is that a favorite breed for you?

czech dog

boxer?

oh, Nina, your double intaglio is AWESOME - what great color, and Debi - love the red with the fantastic holder :) - Here are a couple of my dogs; one with the butterfly mark and one that I believe? I purchased from Sandy at the convnention in Indy?

Cool! I've decided I am most attracted to the salts with metal dogs. Great topic!
Maisry

Nina: Your condiment set reminded me I have a dog head one also, but different. Have to take more pictures tomorrow. There's loads of dogs on intaglios, all different breeds.

Debi

Not sure if this is old or not, but I LOVE it!

This is also similar to one of Debi's.... Overshot salt

Well... Seems like all my other images are too large. Maybe you've seen enough of mine anyway! I have a couple of other neat intaglios in holders. Maybe I'll try to cut down the image size this weekend so I can post them. I love seeing all these dogs!

Again - a view of the etching in the intaglio

Intaglio holder with two salts showing dogs

Better view of the image in the intaglio

Amethyst intaglio with hunt scene and placecard holder

Orange glass with German Shepherd next to salt. I had a shepherd, too!

Like German Pink Pigs but a pup - souvenir of Wilkes Barre, PA

Egyptian Pharoah hound? Dog looks similar to one of Debi's, but only dog does.

China double with setter - French

That's not a good photo of the Royal Doulton with the beagle... If I get a chance, I'll take a better one.

Royal Doulton celery salt (or ash) with beagle

Imari condiment - sled with dog heads as finials

Another condiment set w/hunt scene and beagles

Condiment set with beagles... We loved our Jimmy, lost him to cancer

PJ: I have found that a number of old French doubles were originally painted over the glass. What may look perfectly clear or perfectly white had gold or other colors on them. When most of it had worn off, the rest is attempted to be scrubbed away. But somtimes the colors or gold in the crevices shows up in photos. I'm not saying they were all colored originally, but some were. Others may have just acquired a little grime over the last century or so.

Debi

That's a terrible photo... I'll have to try another... Trust me... he's perfectly clear !!! I have no idea why he yellowed up... Maybe he's really "Ole Yeller"... ???

Have a Happy and SAFE 4th of July all...

"The Salty Nut"... P.J.

Dog with double baskets

Amber dog & basket

That's all my pups. I actually have more cats than dogs. That will be another topic some time soon. There's got to be loads more dogs out there. Let's see them all.

Debi

All of those dog salts are fabulous...but I have my eye on the green double-dog!!! Haven't seen one like him before.

Lisa :)

Debi, drooling enviously over that red glass with dogs, that's gorgeous!
Maisry

Probably French - Green Glass Double Dog (dare ya')

Red glass in three dog holder.

Quimper dog double

Oh, Debi, don't let Donna Wolfe see that Faience one - that dog looks an awful lot like a greyhound!! Brenda, I love the picture of you and your little corn dog - he's too cute!

Empress Judy
Not mowing the lawn because it's too wet in Upstate NY

Debi, I love the little crazy ears on that little dog.

This is the only "doggie" in my collection...Debi now we are twins....

I have at least 3 more I can think of that I need to take pictures of tomorrow.

Debi

A favorite of mine...French faience

Salty dog? Probably a little perfume holder. Love his ears!

Dog with Cart by Central glass...also in canary, amber and clear

Oh, my... I don't seem to remember what's in my own book. LOL Well, can't retain all that knowledge indefinitely. I just remember many years ago, when eBay first got going, those scotties were frequently listed by Australian sellers. So we sort of assumed there might be a lot of them in Australia. But now that you mention it, I believe they are all signed Czech. Not sure if the one in the book is mine or not.... It certainly could be! Gosh, I expected a lot more dog photos. Maybe I'll get a chance to take some more tomorrow.

I didn't even notice the little indentation in the tail area, Nina! I could see where it would hold a cigarette....though a very short one. The front of the dog is impressed with "Made in Czechoslovakia". I spied the one listed in the OSC. Is that one photographed yours, Nina?

Lisa :)

Love your little corn dog, Brenda! Lisa... I think those Scotties may be Australian. I have one, too. I also think they might night owl as ashtrays (note dip near tail), but who cares?

I nabbed this scotty dog salt at convention, and couldn't pass him up! I don't know if he's made of glass, or crystal, but he's heavy, and very detailed. Love him!!!!!!!!

Lisa :)

SCOTTY DOG!

Brenda, he must count! He's adorable!
Maisry

I love this salty dog as it reminds me of a lot of things I saw in my Denver Grandparent's and Great Grandparent's homes.
Maisry

Maisry's Salty Dog

Does this count?

This little sauce cup/salt dip has a doggie

I should be in bed. I've got 6 people showing up at my house for breakfast at 6 a.m. - and it's quarter to 1 now! Plus I have a big event with the bank that will have me working at a concert until at least 7 tomorr... make that TOnight! Ack! Why do we all have such soft spots for dogs???

German Bisque Tub with Dachshound (sp?); one of my favorite dog salts!

Dogs win this time...Any open salt, double salt, condiment set, intaglio, figural with a dog on it...We want to see it!
