Description
Authentic vintage Sandicast bunny rabbit figurine. This hand-painted piece features a realistic brown textured coat with expert shading and lifelike glass-like eyes. The rabbit is depicted in a charming crouching pose looking back over its shoulder. Heavy, high-quality feel characteristic of the maker. Dimensions approximately 5-7 inches in length.
Key Features
Highly realistic 'sand' texture, hand-painted details, heavy weight indicating quality, collectible brand name, glass eyes for a lifelike appearance.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Look for a signature engraved in the casting (likely 'Sandra Brue') near the base and a gold foil sticker or stamped bottom. The weight and eye quality are standard for genuine Sandicast.
Flaws to Note
No significant flaws visible. Potential buyers should check for 'chatter' (small chips) along the bottom edge and the very tips of the ears.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching brand-specific collectors), Etsy (if vintage 20+ years), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping costs due to weight).
Selling Tips
Include 'Sandra Brue' in the title. Mention the weight of the item in the description to prove authenticity. Use the keyword 'Realistic' and 'Cottagecore'. Package very securely with bubble wrap as cast stone is brittle.
