Sticky Fingers by Richard Cooper Bronze

Please Sir, may I have some more?  There’s a very tight seal on this pot of delicious home-made jam and somebody really fancies a taste!  How can anyone resist that sweet face and those tiny begging feet?

This charming design has been sculpted by Michael Simpson, an expert in depicting the appealing features of the mouse.  The whole piece is cast in resin bronze and carefully hand painted in artist’s oils.

This thoughtful gift is packed in a branded box with a colour booklet detailing the full collection.

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.
