Description
Egg Cup by Richard Cooper Bronze
What a perfect fit! This pretty egg-cup, decorated with a good luck four-leaf clover pattern looks to have been made for this little mouse. After a small bite to eat and quick groom it’s time to curl up for an afternoon nap, bliss!
This endearing design has been sculpted by Michael Simpson. The whole piece has been cast in resin bronze and skillfully hand painted with artist’s oils. The delicate floral pattern of the egg-cup being subtly high-lighted with an antique gold paint.
The company started life to design and manufacture limited edition foundry bronze sculptures and collectibles. The founder, Richard Cooper, had previously owned Country Artists Ltd, of Stratford upon Avon. A company he had also founded. This was a successful company designing and manufacturing animals, birds and a wide collection of wildlife subjects from around the world. All the sculptures were made in resin and hand painted in sizes from miniature to life size.
When the company was sold in 2004 Richard was not ready to retire and decided to start a new venture in the same arena but in bronze rather than resin as the base material.
Initially, Richard decided to develop comparatively large sculptures of wildlife studies and figurative work suitable for art galleries in contrast to the smaller subjects from the previous company, which were sold to gift shops.
