Description
This sitting pig figurine shows a young pig resting on its haunches, head lifted and turned as if it has just heard its name. Its large ears stand up and out, the snout is a soft rosy pink with deep nostrils, and dark eyes give it a bright, curious look. The body is finished in pale pink, with gentle blush shading around the ears, cheeks and legs, and its whole surface carries fine sculpted lines that suggest the bristly texture of a real piglet's skin. The four hooves are picked out in dark brown, and a short tail tucks in at the back. It stands 23cm tall, 25cm wide and 20cm deep, a good size to hold its own on a shelf without crowding it.
We think it looks most at home somewhere it can be seen from the front or the side, such as a kitchen windowsill, a dresser, a mantelpiece or a bookcase in a farmhouse or country style room. Because it sits on its own four hooves and haunches, it needs no stand or fixing: simply set it down on a flat, steady surface. It brings a gentle touch of the countryside to a hallway table or a reading corner, and sits happily beside stoneware jugs, wooden boards and potted plants. It makes a cheerful gift that needs no explaining.
The figure is made from resin, a material also known as polystone, which holds fine sculpted detail well, so the wrinkles on the snout and the soft folds at the shoulders and legs stay crisp and clear. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and wipe it with a slightly damp cloth if it needs more than that. Set it beside a pot of herbs on the windowsill for a homely country corner, or wrap it as a gift with plenty of tissue around those upright ears.
