Christmas Figurines
A selection of Christmas themed figurines to decorate your home this Christmas.
I had to give in to my longings this year and bring in these superb ceramic figures imported from Russia.
I have seen them when purchasing ornaments from the same studio but had not been moved to carry figures. This year I decided I liked them too much to pass them by again so here they are.
In photographing them I realised just how nice they are with a certain feel to the painting and sculpting that comes across all the moreso as the pieces get bigger.
This figure is 8 1/2 inches high and is laden with a wonderful assortment of toys.

It truly is the hand painting that makes these pieces so outstanding as if seen as a simple ceramic casting they have little life.
The artists bring the forms alive and the result is all you see and more.
Figure is 10.5 inches tall.
Karen had to give me a strong nudge to get this piece on the web site as I seemed perfectly happy to have it grace our home indefinetly.
If you like him as much as I do I will sell him but it's a bit like putting something up for adoption; I want to be sure he gets a good home. Completely crazy as its an inanimate object but there you go, I find him so very appealing and how do you get a lamb to look so pleased.
Figure is 10.5 inches tall.
A very merry piece indeed with a romping deer accompanying the sleigh on its rounds.
Its quite large at 11 1/2 inches long and 9 inches high but it got to me safely all the way from Russia so I feel confidant that I can get it to you in the same state.
This is the largest piece to date for us.
He stands 17 inches high and is @ 9 inches wide.
Two very cute girls are ready for Christmas with his arrival.

24 inches high
Lynn Haney Collection of Santa Figures
The first Santa Lynn made was actually a soft-sculpture stitched and fabricated by hand in a long, bell-trimmed hat. With the encouragement of his wife, Lynn soon started another and others began to follow, with clay heads and more trim and accessories. And in 1987, the Lynn Haney Collection officially began. From that early one person beginning he has added many artist-craftsmen to his extended studio family. At this time the production in his studio is carried out by a dedicated staff of craftsmen on a year-round basis. Made in USA .
