"Ma Tweety" (brown) measures 3/4" tall, by 1 1/2" wide (at widest point, tips of wings), 1 1/8" deep (front to back, beak to tip of tail).
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 1946, still family owned AND; HANDCRAFTED IN AMERICA!
This "Tweety" Ma is brown, softly and lightly air brushed with black to give emphasis and shading to the piece.
Circa - 1960'S
The beak is detailed VERY LIGHTLY with yellow ochre. The eyes are tiny black dots.
