This is truly a TINY Hound dog pup! Measuring only 10/16" long, by 7/16" wide, and standing 5/8" tall; this is definitely one of the tiniest figurines produced by Hagen-Renaker.
This piece is a high gloss fired glaze finish on a Ceramic clay base that was fired to approximately 2300 degrees Fahrenheit.
All of the Hagen Renaker miniatures listed on our website are "Fired " finishes; thus making them pieces of "China". Most of the pieces undergo at least two (2), with some having three (3) firings in a Ceramic kiln. Temperatures will vary from 2500 degrees to 1650 degrees, dependent as to a greenware (raw clay) firing, a glaze firing, or an overglaze (lustre, gold, or platinum) firing.
Hagen-Renaker, fine Potteries since 1945, still family owned AND; HANDCRAFTED IN AMERICA!
The detailing on this tiny Hound dog is PRECIOUS!
Even though this is such a tiny piece, you will enjoy the BLACK detailing of the eyes, nose, ears, and 'spot', on the right hip.
This
VINTAGE model is most likely from the early 1980's!
