Product code: Vintage Dog Figure Wagner popular Kunstlerschutz
The Wagner Handwork Company got its start in the late 1940s when Fritz Wagner (1906-1971), a sculptor and mold designer, began an arts and crafts workshop in the German town of Rodental. There he created more than 300 different animal molds. The animals ranged in size from 5 cm to 20 cm. These charming little creatures are part of a long German history of creating animal figures from wood, plaster, clay, and papier-mache, then covering them with wool or other fibers (such as flocking) to create top-quality toys and figurines for Christmas nativity and village scenes (known as "putz" scenes, based on the German word "putzen"; this verb generally means "to clean," but is also used to describe preening, polishing, and furbishing, or decorating). This Cute little Dash Hound will make a great popular gift for any collector. PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES FOR DETAILS.
