This Bronze
Miniature is cast from natural bronze heated to over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The wax model is replaced by molten bronze to form an exact duplication of the
original. The item has been deburred, brazed, tumbled, antiqued, cold cast, and hand-painted.
All the Cats, Frogs, and Dachshunds are cast from Redl Factory molds from Austria. When Mr. Redl Senior died, he left them to his son Ludwig. Ludwig Redl brought them to the USA to cast them here in Santa Barbara, CA. Ludwig is a famous sculptor and professor who taught at UC Santa Barbara. To not compete with Austria's Vienna Bronze Industry, Fully Cold Cast Hand Painted. The sale of Redl Factory Molds agreement from Ludwig Redl to Heirloom Editions Ltd (HE) to only Partially Cold Cast Paint, to patina the bodies, and hand paint the musical instruments, ornaments such as flowers, feet, and hands, making them more affordable. The patina gives a rich brown/bronze tone. The thimble holders are exclusive to Heirloom Editions Ltd. Only, HE closed its factory in 2004.
