The extraordinary variety of breeds of dogs is strong evidence that they have been bred selectively for a long time. Dogs have shared human habitation even in prehistoric times. Dogs are known as man's best friend. There are sporting dogs, working dogs and toy dogs. They will always greet you with a wagging tail and sloppy kiss, no matter what mood you are in. What better way to honor them than a handcrafted figurine? Also great for Christmas scenes! This listing is for all 3 dogs listed. If you would like just one, please contact me.
Each of my figurines is hand crafted using 100% lead-free Britannia metal, known as pewter. Britannia metal (also called britannium or Britannia ware) is a specific type of pewter alloy, favoured for its silvery appearance and smooth surface. The composition is typically about 92% tin, 6% antimony, and 2% copper. I carefully pour and finish each piece so the final product is something you will treasure for many years. I've been casting pewter for over 30 years and, to many, this is seen as a lost art.
The pictured piece is a very close example of the final product you will receive. As I hand-cast each figurine, there may be minor differences between the item pictured and the one you receive; I consider this to be one of the many unique benefits of purchasing a hand-crafted item. If you are interested in purchasing multiples of any of the items in my shop, please contact me, as I am happy to accommodate!
