Country Artists Mouse Appraisal

Country Artists 'Closed for the Season' Owl and Mouse Figurine

This is a highly detailed, hand-painted resin sculpture titled 'Closed for the Season' from the Country Artists collection. The figurine depicts a young, white snowy owl perched atop a textured tree stump, looking down with large, expressive dark glass-like eyes at a small brown mouse on the ground below. The owl's feathers are intricately rendered with a fine, stippled texture to simulate the appearance of down, while the mouse features fine brushwork to suggest fur. The base of the sculpture mimics a rocky, moss-covered terrain in shades of pale green and beige. The entire sculptural element is mounted on a circular, dark-stained wooden plinth. Beside the main figurine sits a separate, smaller miniature owl token, likely a signature extra included with this specific collection. The craftsmanship reflects the high quality characteristic of Country Artists (formerly of Stratford-upon-Avon, UK), produced primarily in the late 20th to early 21st century. The piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or fading of the pigments, maintaining a crisp level of detail in the textures.
