Winnie-The-Pooh Bear and Piglet Blowing Dandelions Border Fine Arts 2000 Figurine

A WINNIE-THE-POOH AND PIGLET BLOWING DANDELIONS FIGURINE. MADE IN SCOTLAND BY BORDER FINE ARTS. HAND FINISHED RESIN ART IN THE FINEST DETAIL.
 
Piglet is a fictional character from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books. Piglet is WinniethePooh's closest friend amongst all the toys and animals featured in the stories. Although he is a "Very Small Animal" of a generally timid disposition, he tries to be brave and on occasion conquers his fears.
 
Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist, masters of survival worldwide. After flowering for a couple of days, the flower head closes and the seeds develop inside the closed head. As the seeds form, the flower stalk extends higher so that it can reach the breeze. The seeds have bristles that function like a parachute and float on the wind.

BORDER FINE ARTS SCOTLAND:
Between 1974 and 2016 Border Fine Arts produced naturalistic figurines and tableaux of farming, wildlife and rural scenes, which drew inspiration from the countryside surrounding their factory in Langholm in the Scottish Borders.
Attention to detail was paramount at Border Fine Arts. Alongside their desire to capture the essence of rural life and its changes over the past 50 years, each piece was the result of close study from nature and time and great effort was taken to ensure realistic portrayals of their subject. Adding to their charm each Border Fine Arts Classic model was hand finished, resulting in slight variations in shade and tone.
After thriving for decades, a decline in demand for these traditional scenes led to the closure of the factory in 2016. There is still a dedicated and passionate group of followers for the early and original models.
 
WINNIE THE POOH:
Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne is a beloved 1926 childrens book that has captured the hearts of readers for generations. The story revolves around a lovable bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood alongside his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo. The book is filled with whimsical tales, endearing characters, and valuable life lessons.
In 1961, The Walt Disney Company licensed certain film and other rights of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories from the estate of A. A. Milne and adapted the Pooh stories, using the unhyphenated name "Winnie the Pooh", into a series of features that would eventually become one of its most successful franchises.
