Notes: Designer Robyn Sikking produced and sold figurines from her own pottery, Robyn’s Ceramics, prior to working for Hagen-Renaker. Squirrels A-271 and A-272 are slightly reduced versions of Robyn’s original designs, and the first HR colorways imitated her bisque grey and brown finishes with white “frosted” details.
To distinguish from the Hagen-Renaker versions, squirrels produced by Robyn have words inscribed on the base and/or solid black or charcoal feet.
Some of the bisque pieces have a short wire inserted near the tip of the tail, to secure the piece in a plant or elsewhere.
