Description: A Bossons Hedgehog First Encounter 1980 Fraser Art Crown Collection #440 in Very good condition with the exception of a small scuff where the fraser art sticker was. This unique sculpture features the characteristic Bossons fine detail of a young hedgehog newly out of his nest encountering his first "stranger" - an equally appraising grasshopper.. - mounted on a wooden plaque, signed by the "Paintress" who added color to the highly detailed sculpture. Bossons is the name given to an extraordinary collection of character wall masks, figurines, shelf ornaments, animal studies, wall plaques, lamp bases, bookends, wall clocks, thermometers, barometers, pottery figures and mirrors that were produced by the W. H. Bossons Company of Congleton, England between 1948 and 1996......each one handpainted and detailed. The brainchild of a talented father and son team, they have become highly sought after works of art all around the world, but especially in the USA and England. Both W. H Bossons and his son W. Ray Bossons studied pottery making in Stoke-on-Trent.What started out as a single Christmas gift for my wife in the 80's turned into a frequent search of the small gift shops, smoke shops, and antique and collector shops building a wonderful collection that we added to for years. When we downsized to a smaller house with much less wall space, we inevitably faced the fact that if they are not displayed, they should be offered to other people who also find the "Bossons" a beautiful addition to their décor.Over the next couple of weeks we'll be listing many Bossons, if there's one you're looking for let me know and as always happy to combine to save on shipping costs. Check out our store for all that are currently listed.
