Papa Tweety (Blue) measures 1" tall, by 1 5/8" wide (at widest point, tips of wings), 1 1/16" 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" Papa is blue, softly and lightly air brushed with black to give emphasis and shading to the piece.
The beak is detailed with yellow ochre, ever so finely detailed with a black line, to indicate an opening. The eyes are black dots.
Location: Flr 101 (Purple area, 'birds' case)
