Longing Little Painted Papier Mache Dog with Spring Tail white chair but this is the first

but this is the first cup without a handle I've found

My photo lighting picks up every tiny imperfection on the silver-plate

but it could possibly be metal under the paint

grater--the dealer I purchased it from thinking that it was may have been used for grating shelled corn for cornmeal

with Jose and his family looking as if both signaling "help" and gratefully waving to her

Longing Little Painted Papier Mache Dog with Spring Tail white chair but this is the firstThis little papier mache doggy would make a very good companion for the little side glancing man I am listing next, with this pup's spring wire spring tail a perfect complement to the spring wire body of the figure. And the face on this pup really seems to express longing for company! Very sweet, with excellent red painted toenails, too! 2 3 8" t x 1 1 4" w x 2" d including tail. Though unmarked, my guess is this one was made in Japan, c. 1920s 40s.
