"Mama Turtle" (shown on right, in picture, with "Baby Turtle", for size.)
NOTE: "Baby Turtle" (HR00279) sold individually, or as a set (HR00419-279).

"Mama Turtle" measures 1 3/4" long (from tip of tail to tip of nose), and 1 1/4" wide. It is 5/8" tall.

The detailing on the back of the turtle is scored in the mould, so the green semi-translucent glaze fills the divisions and defines the sections of the shell.
The eyes are simple black dots on either side of the tiny turtle's head.
Mama has a nice curved line for a pleasant smiling mouth.
The MOVEMENT of "Mama Turtle" is accentuated by the varied positions of the four feet, and pointed 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, dependentas 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!
