          This person found the original sculptor - maybe you can look on eBay and such?

          Also, let me know if you want pics from different angles if you decide to make something similar.

        I’ve heard grannies called silver foxes; first time hearing one called a porcelain fox. 🤔

      Thank you! It’s my most prized possession because of sentimental value, but it is also objectively beautiful.

      Thank you! She passed in 2014 at 94 years old and was a very vocal dissident against Putin. She also dyed her hair fire engine red with henna and didn’t give two shits about what people thought of her. She was a very loving grandma, and I was lucky to have her.

        She sounds like an ultimate badass. I hope you continue to get inspired by her.

      Thank you!

      It has the Russian letter F (“Ф”), which stand for “farfor” or porcelain. I am not sure what the other one says, but it’s probably the manufacturer.

        10 or Ю?

        I would guess that’s the 10th in a series

      I found a Facebook thread for what looked like an identical piece, and the context given was:

      “Fox”, 1961.

      Leningrad Porcelain Factory (Ленинградский завод фарфоровых изделий - ЛЗФИ).

      Author: Lev Naumovich Smorgon (February 17, 1929, Detskoe Selo, Leningrad Region) - sculptor, painter, graphic artist, medalist, children’s toy artist, writer.
