Toppers weigh between 6 and 10 oz. The base is hollow and there is an opening into the interior. Each topper is signed.

HOW ARE THEY MADE:
Toppers are cast by me in my studio, using molds that I make myself. They are cast using a white liquid clay. Each topper requires several molds. One for the bodies and one for each head. Tails use an additional mold. After the parts are cast, and dried out a bit, human heads are chopped off and animal heads attached. I carve out bow ties and clean up seams, making for sharp looking buy hybrid creatures. Each topper makes two trips through the kiln, firing to 2000 degrees, the second firing melts a clear glaze that makes the figurine shine.

NOTES: This is not a stark blue/white.... closer to an Ivory. It is not unusual for the glaze to have mini-black speckles. Please always take a close look at photos.
