German Shepherd Hand Painted Ceramic Heart Super Seconds

For the German Shepherd who takes guarding the Christmas presents very seriously. 🐾❤️

This beautiful hand painted German Shepherd ceramic heart decoration features a handsome German Shepherd sitting proudly in the snow, wrapped up against the winter chill in a warm red scarf.

With those unmistakable pointed ears, alert expression and traditional black and tan markings, the design is individually hand painted by me in my Shropshire studio. Raised white details create falling snow and snowy drifts beneath the dog's paws.

Finished with a white organza ribbon for hanging, this handmade ceramic heart would make a lovely German Shepherd gift, Christmas decoration or special keepsake for someone who adores this loyal and much-loved breed.

Individually hand painted in my Shropshire studio.

Why is this a Super Second?

This German Shepherd heart is joining my Super Seconds Festival because the glaze has developed crazing during firing.

Crazing appears as a network of very fine lines within the glazed surface. It means the heart doesn't quite meet the standard I require for my full-priced ceramics, but it's still far too lovely to go to waste.

Please note that crazing is notoriously difficult to photograph. The fine lines can be almost invisible in some lighting and may only become noticeable when the glaze catches the light at certain angles.

I've tried to show the crazing as clearly as possible in the photographs, so please zoom in and look carefully at all the images before purchasing.

As each heart is individually hand painted, there may also be slight variations in brushstrokes, colour and detailing.

Not quite perfect perhaps – although we're certainly not going to be the ones to tell him. 😂🐾
