Featured Pottery or Composite? Hedgehogs

Hi all,
I've seen these figures before, finally bought a couple to see what they are or who makes them. They feel like pottery, but on the base there is little holes, so maybe a composite material rather than pottery? Lots of holes on the first base, not so many on the 2nd base. There are 1 1/2"H.
any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

Aw, more cuties!

My guess would be resin, with or without other stuff thrown in.

 

Thanks Pat, I agree with you yes, the cute factor was happening today!

 

Cute is good.

 

Once again, ADORKABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, SO CUTE!!!

 

@Aquitaine, try to cheer up!

I had a hedgehog living in my garden for years. The look of whatthehellisthat! when my cat first saw it was priceless.

 

So cute, I think those critters are now trending for sellers.
BWDIK.

 

If you like/lerv hedgehogs, check out this sweet/scary Soviet animation from 1975 "Hedgehog in the Fog"

 

That was..........................cute...........strange..........interesting........ and I'm sure there's a lot more underlying meaning to it!!!!! BUT, Hedgehog did get to his destination!!!

 

I thought it was an old children's story, but apparently the music and story were written by Norstein.

That hedgehog is sooooo charming, I love when he calls the owl, "weirdo!" But that bear! And the dog!

I'm glad to share it!

 

Thank-you for sharing this lovely little film Scoutshouse I love it!

 

They remind me of the figures made from Mt. St. Helens ash by a number of people; "Stan," and I recall Becca or similar. If so, they'd be considered a type of pottery I believe.

 

Thanks all_fakes I'll check that out! I've had some pieces by Stan before, the plaques that come with a stand, wish I had one now to compare!
