Original Vienna Bronze by the Workshop Lily:

Dachshund at Motorcycle

We are offering this original Vienna Bronze, handmade in Vienna by the Workshop Lily. The objects manufactured by the Workshop Lily are marked with the typical \"Lily flower\" and \"Austria\" marking. In case there is little or no space, they sometimes show no or only one marking. This miniature is 36mm tall and 40mm long. As these figurines are still manufactured and painted by hand, small variations in detail or color, to the pictured object, are normal. Each item will be delivered in a velvet pouch. These figurines are casted, chiseled and painted in Vienna in very small quanity.

About the production of these miniatures - the \"Lost Wax Method\"

The actual material of the object is Brass. I think these figurines were called \"Vienna Bronze\" because Brass was not that well known as Bronze. Achieving such a high level of detail on a rather small figurine requires a very complex and time intensive production process: Usually it starts with a rubber mould. Liquid Brass would destory the rubber and for this reason the figurine is in the first step casted out of wax. The wax figurine is used to prepare a negative made of some kind of plaster or clay: In a very special technique one or more wax figurines get placed inside a container. All that is covered with plaster or clay. The mould is dried and fired. This way the clay is getting hard while the wax is melting. A hollow space is created - the negative. This negative gets filled with liquid Brass. When the Brass is cooled down, it gets hard. The plaster around the brass core can be broken off and the figurines made of Brass are the desired result. These figurines will be cut off, their whole surface gets engraved by hammer and punch, and finally the items get marked with the traditional marking and painted in a costly and detailled manner.
