Vintage Animal Sculptures
In this category, you might have found animal figures that were made and painted prior to 1991, which were carefully and superbly rendered "free-hand". Close attention was paid to delicate feathering and realistic fur, exquisite eyes and mouths, and colors. The pieces just dripped with minute detail (not really, this is merely a metaphor). These pieces were nurtured by a lack of a need to meet a bottom line by the factory managers (it was socialism, after all), and by the poorly paid artists who worked in the factory, who genuinely enjoyed their work, and who refined and showed off their painting talents, particularly peer-to-peer.
So, anyway, things have changed and we have practically nothing left. All sold, and eventually, this category will be gone. Enjoy reading while it lasted.
