    Description

    Hi everyone!
    When I sculpted this fox he turned out to be the biggest one I've done in a very long time as I chose to have him standing up!
    My Master Fox takes a moment to gather his favorite dogs around him--his constant companion the Jack Russell and his two best field hounds.  Master Fox has given all three special collars with hearts on them!  The larger hound has put himself in charge of of the Master's top hat and takes his job quite seriously. The smaller hound is looking quite pleased with her new status. And the terrier knows he is top dog as he is perched on the Master's arm way above the other two!
    This is my own original design, never done before and totally hand sculpted by me from ceramic clay to the the only of its kind.
    I first rolled out clay to form the grassy base, then sculpted the fox in his hunt outfit, the three dogs with their collars, the top hat, small trees and greenery.  Once all the items were dried and painted, they were attached together with liquid clay.  Two high temperature kiln firings bonded all the parts together in a permanent glazed finish.
    A third firing added 22kt. gold to the fox's stock pin, the buttons on his hunt coat, and the heart fasteners on the dogs' collars. I then mounted the sculpture on a black wood base.
    I've signed and dated this in the back, Barbie Sonnett 2021.
    Measurements:  total height from the bottom of the base to the highest fox ear tip is 9".  The base is 5" square and 1" high. This sculpture is heavy and sturdy, weighing 1 lb. 10 oz.
    I've been selling my original ceramic animal sculpture as a full time profession since 1982, and exclusively on eBay for the past 21 years.

    Thanks for taking a look!
