<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Houseful, post: 188836, member: 1067&quot;]I have sculpted dogs to be cast in bronze though usually life size, so I know a bit about this process. This is likely to have been sculpted in wax, so directly cast from that single sculpted wax with no mould being made to make more wax copies, so one only, hence 1/1. To cast a small solid as in this case would be okay, large pieces in bronze have to be cast as hollow because if you didn&#039;t the thinner extremities in the hot metal would cool down at a different rate and would crack and warp. </p><p>Plantation likely a show breeders kennel name. Maybe 1980s if it&#039;s Miss Ellie.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
