This little sculpture, "Eira", was produced in English bone china by Alchemy-Earthworks. The company sold some of them as undecorated bisques, which is how I got her. Once Earthworks closed, she became the only one I had. That's always a good way to stay unglazed here, because I end up changing my mind over and over on the "one and only" color I will get to try. Obviously I did decide with this filly. She's a silvery sabino roan with an irregular bald face, muzzle spots and one blue eye. The effect is to give her a rather feisty expression that is very appealing. Her pale coloring and her gloss finish make it hard to capture the detailing in her pattern, but she has fine ticking and lacey patches all along her neck, shoulders, flanks and belly. It's hard to tell because I use a light box to minimize the glare, but she is glossy while the little snowy knoll where she's running has a matte finish to better set her apart from it. $225 |
