Ceramic Saddleback Pig Raku-fired Sculpture by Paul Jenkins

This beautiful saddleback pig sculpture is by Paul Jenkins. It has been slip cast, taken from an original modelling by Paul, then raku-fired which creates the unique and characterful crackled finish. It looks stunning on a mantelpiece or windowsill and would make a wonderful gift for any hare lover.

Please note: As with all handmade studio ceramics each piece will vary slightly finish but will be just as marvellous as the one pictured.

Material: raku-fired ceramic

Size: height 14cm; width 23cm; depth 13cm
