Cmielow Porcelain Animals at Eden & Eden

But we could find a space for a collection of these little figurines...

 
 

even if it is a collection of one (and with most at over $100 a pop, it would probably have to be). Each piece is made in Cmielow, Poland from original mid-century molds, then hand-painted. We're particularly fond of the mouse and Roe deer, but they all have their charm (though the "panther" looks suspiciously like a ferret to us). Do any of you collect Cmielow?

The product description calls it Collie. But it is perfect either way.

The collie is gorgeous -- love the fur. And the Eden & Eden site has some great stuff. Check out the van amburgh stool. Thanks!

I love the Collie. But I thought it was an anteater when I first saw it.
