$125.00

Norman Rockwell\'s THE TOY MAKER

Being offered on this sale is figurine made by Wiener Kunst Keramik, Austria. It features Reisenschnauzer - Giant Schnauzer. Dog is shown standing with her head up. It is in gray tones with very gentle light brownish reflections and paws in white. Gentle texture of ceramics beautifully resembles its fur. Looks splendid. It is made in stoneware with polychrome decoration. Austrian sculptor Rudolf Chocholka (1888 - 1958) designed this figurine. He was known for magnificent animal sculptures. In 1920 – 1930s he worked for company in UK modeling large hunting groups in bronze. He started with WKK in about 1940. Chocholka spent much of his time in the Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna to observe animals, sketch and photograph. This arose him for so lifelike animal figurines. Figurine on this sale might be one of the best Schnauzer dog designed. One of her paws carries ‘Made in Austria’ printed in black on the backside. Another paw has gold and red shield with ‘Wiena Astria Keramos’. According to my books this is production of c. 1950s. It is known about ‘Wien Keramos’ that they often marked their figurines with original artist signs. We do not see it on this piece.

Figurine measures about 11 ½” x 5” and stands 9 ½” tall. Condition is very good with no cracks or chips found. Colors are bright and vibrant. There is almost no crazing typical for vintage Keramos pieces. Couple points on the surface of the body and on the back show some imperfection. Figurine displays very well.
