Product Information

Full details

This POLSPOTTEN Canine Figurine is for individuals who appreciate artisanal decor and unique decorative pieces. Its key benefit is adding a touch of artistic charm and personality to any interior space with its hand-painted floral motifs and glossy porcelain finish. A slight caveat is that being a porcelain figurine, it requires careful handling to avoid damage. This playful yet practical piece from Polspotten, known as 'Puppy', is a statement item crafted from porcelain, featuring hand-painted traditional dark blue and white floral detailing with lustrous golden accents on its nose and eyes, serving as both a decorative object and a potential conversation starter.

FAQs

Is this figurine a functional piggy bank?

No, while it is part of a series that includes piggy banks, this specific 'Puppy' canine figurine is designed purely as a decorative item and does not have a coin slot or storage functionality.

What are the dimensions of the figurine?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product details, but it is described as a statement piece, suggesting it has a noticeable presence.

How is the blue color achieved?

The blue color is part of the traditional hand-painting technique used on the porcelain, featuring stylized botanical detailing in dark blue and white.

Are the golden accents on the nose and eyes painted on?

Yes, the lustrous golden accents on the nose and eyes are applied as part of the hand-painting process.

Can this figurine be displayed outdoors?

It is strongly recommended to keep the figurine indoors. Exposure to outdoor elements such as moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature changes can damage the porcelain and the hand-painted finish.

What makes this figurine unique compared to mass-produced decor?

Its uniqueness stems from being artisanally crafted and hand-painted, meaning each figurine possesses subtle variations that make it one-of-a-kind.

Troubleshooting

Figurine appears dusty and dull

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth, followed immediately by a dry cloth.

Paint appears to be chipping or fading

This is rare with proper care. Ensure you are not using any cleaning chemicals. If damage has occurred, it may require professional restoration or the item might need to be retired from display.

Figurine is unstable on its display surface

Ensure the surface is completely flat and level. If the figurine itself has a slight wobble, consider using a small, discreet piece of museum putty or a felt pad on the base to stabilize it.

Care Instructions:

  1. Dusting: Gently dust the figurine regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glossy finish.
