This is Momma Poodle, White w/Pink Bow, HR# 82.
We estimate this piece to have been produced in the early 1970's!
It is EVER SO SLIGHTLY larger than the other (HR82-2), (primarily in chest area), that we currently have pictured on our website.
She measures approximately the same, 1 7/8" long, from tip of nose to back left foot, 1 7/8" tall (to top notch of hair on head), and 1" wide, side to side at the widest points.
The detailing is EXCELLENT. Texture in the mould shows the "bubble" type cut of a classic "Poodle Cut" hair on the legs, top notch, ears and tip of ball shaped tail.
Black dots define the eyes, which are spaced a bit wider then those shown on the HR82-2 example.
Also, the tiny nose is oval shaped on this example.
A small baby pink bow is decorating the top of her head!
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!
HURRY COLLECTORS...we have ONLY this ONE (1); pictured is the actual adult Poodle Dog miniature you will receive! Location: Flr-101; Dogs, Locked China cabinet case/display.
