Description: Heirloom Editions Ltd. Redl Factory Vienna Bronze Bodice with Measuring Tape Thimble Holder ***All Bronze Figurines and Thimble Holders are approximated sizes, as the mould can expand or condense depending on the weather, and room temperature must be considered when pouring molten bronze into Moulds, as each one is individually hand-made. *** All Bronzes are Vintage and were made before 2004. Most Bronzes were manufactured Between 1980 to 2000 L H W Measurements CM: 6.35 X 8.89 X 2.54Measurements Inches: 2.5 X 3.50 X 1.0 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, painted, and waxed to keep the patina highlights, and it was manufactured by hand in the USA. All the Cats, Frogs, and Dachshunds are cast from Redl Factory Vienna Bronze Moulds 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, it is fully cold cast and 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 Heirloom Editions Ltd closed its factory in 2006.I began selling on eBay in August 2023.
