Hagen Renaker Sherif to Baby Black

Hagen Renaker 'Sherif' Arabian foal sculpted by Maureen Love and cast in earthenware ceramic.  Originally white with a grey mane and tail, this highly sought after piece arrived to me with two broken legs and a broken ear - and she was already glazed, not being a bisque!   I kiln repaired the two broken legs and resculpted the damaged ear to be flipped back.  Then I also resculpted the mane and tail, and refired her in my kiln.  This is a pretty technically difficult repair and I may be the only person in the world doing such reglaze & repair work.

She is now completed as a dark silvery baby black filly after reference photos my client provided right down to custom markings she requested.  This baby is completed with many firings from cone 04 for repairs, cone 06 for reglazing to a satin/matte finish with glossed eyes, and completed using overglazes fired at cone 016.  She stands 4.5 inches tall, completed May 2023.
