Mama Chihuahua measures 1 1/4 " tall, by 1 7/8" long. It is 5/8" at the widest point.
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!
This Chihuahua is the traditional black and tan coloration and markings. White on the chest and inside of the ears adds "character" to this tiny critter.
The facial expression is FULLY DETAILED! The eyes even have delicately painted eyebrows, with the nose and mouth detailed with black.
