Custom Pet Figurine — Hand-Sculpted Clay Portrait

Description

A hand-sculpted clay portrait of your pet, made one at a time from your photographs. Every figurine is modelled by hand rather than moulded or machine-printed, so the pose, the markings and the expression belong to your pet alone. It arrives ready to sit on a shelf, a desk, or beside a photo frame.

Choose your size

• 4 inch — a small, quiet piece for a desk or bedside table. Suits cats and small breeds.
• 5 inch — our most requested size. Enough presence to hold a shelf without dominating it.
• 6 inch — for larger dogs, or when you want the piece to be the focal point of a room.

What’s included

• One hand-sculpted clay figurine on an integrated base
• Finished with a non-toxic matte sealant
• A certificate of authenticity
• Protective packaging designed for transit

How it’s made

1. You place your order and send us your favourite photographs.
2. Our artists sculpt your pet by hand, one piece at a time.
3. We send you progress photographs before the piece is sealed and finished, and we wait for your approval.
4. Your figurine is sealed, wrapped and shipped.

Which photographs work best

Clear, well-lit photos taken at eye level give us the most to work from. A front view plus one or two side views helps us match the face, the ears, and the way your pet carried their head. Old or scanned photographs are fine as long as the features are readable.

Production and shipping

Because every piece is made to order, allow 2–4 weeks for production, plus 7–15 days for delivery within the United States. Orders over $99 ship free.

Care

Keep your figurine out of direct sunlight and away from damp rooms. Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Clay is durable but not unbreakable — treat it as you would any handcrafted object.

Common questions

Can you work from an old or low-resolution photo?

Usually, yes. Send us what you have and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot see before you order.

Will it look exactly like my pet?

It will be a close, recognisable likeness — we sculpt the specific markings, ears and expression from your photographs. Long or heavily textured coats cannot be reproduced hair for hair, so we focus on silhouette, face and character.

Can you sculpt a pet who has already passed away?

Yes, and we handle these orders with particular care. Many of the pieces we make are made from photographs of pets who are no longer here.
