Porcelain Sitting Tiger Collectible Figurine / Gift for Child / Bonsai planter garden / Miniature ceramic / Tiger totem / Aquarium decor

This listing is for one Miniature Porcelain Swimming Tiger. I am fascinated with the idea of making objects and creatures which give the illusion of being in the water. This swimming tiger is simply magnificent. Love him sooooooo much.

I have done a new series focusing on Big Cats and especially Tigers this time. I have been playing and experimenting with letting the painting and illustration carry more of the work. So this involves making small figures quite blobby and abstract in shape. It is challenging because sometimes I forget the original vision. I have also used an Opal/ Iris Luster. This is very difficult to catch on photo, as it is an Iridescence that needs to be played in light.

When I was a child I use to collect small Porcelain Animal Ceramics. So I have made a small series of ceramic miniatures for collectibles. I think they are a nice gift for a child or an animal lover.

For the Porcelain pieces: These are carefully hand formed, then dried for slowly to prevent cracking. Once bone-dry they are Bisque fired. After, I paint the bottoms with a wax resist. Each piece is then carefully hand-painted each with Chrysanthos underglazes, often needing 2 or 3 coats. In this miniature series, this process has taken me several months. Then they are dipped in a clear coat, and fired again, this time to a temperature of 1250 C. The Gold Lustered pieces are fired a 3rd time to 700 C.
