Springer Spaniel Liver and White Hand Painted Ceramic Heart Super Seconds

A snowy little Springer for someone completely spaniel obsessed. 🤎🐾

This charming hand painted Liver & White Springer Spaniel ceramic heart decoration features a lovely Springer sitting patiently in the snow, wrapped up for winter in a cosy striped scarf.

Its distinctive liver and white colouring, long floppy ears and spotted markings have all been individually hand painted by me in my Shropshire studio, with raised white ceramic details creating the snowy ground and falling snow.

Finished with a white organza ribbon for hanging, it would make a lovely Springer Spaniel gift, Christmas decoration or keepsake for someone whose heart belongs to a Springer.

Size & Details: Approximate size 11cm x 12cm, plus approximately 10cm ribbon. Individually hand painted in my Shropshire studio.

Why is this a Super Second?

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

Crazing appears as very fine lines within the glazed surface. It doesn't affect the use of the decoration, but it does mean this piece doesn't quite meet the standard I require for my full-priced ceramics.

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, little variations in brushwork, colouring and expression are all part of its handmade character.

Perfectly imperfect and still looking rather pleased with itself in that scarf. 😂🐾
