Brass Dolphin on Brass Wave w/ Quartz Clock Base San Pacific International SPI

Description

Brass Dolphin on Brass Wave w/ Quartz Clock Base San Pacific International SPI
This brass dolphin measures 6.25 inches tall by 5 inches long by 3 inches wide. As you can see from the clock face, this piece was made by San Pacific International out of California, established in 1973 and still in business today.  This vintage piece is no longer available.
The dolphin and wave sculpture are in very good condition with no cracks, dents, or any other issues. The clock needs a new battery.  The clock piece can be easily removed for battery replacement, or removed and replaced with a photo or another item of interest.  I have taken many photos of the piece with and without the clock piece for your close inspection.
Your dolphin will be very well and carefully packed and shipped out promptly upon payment.
Here's a bit of information about how the SPI company produces its sculptures:
San Pacific International/SPI Gallery is a team of talented 2-D and 3-D artists, sculptors, and craftsmen, inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us, and dedicated to expressing that beauty in extraordinary sculptures. Each San Pacific International/SPI Gallery original begins life as 2-D concept art designed by a team of talented artists in Northern California. Master sculptors breathe dimensions to the artwork with up to weeks of hand sculpting in modeling clay in their own atelier. Expert mold makers carefully break the piece into parts to create detailed master molds. Each part is cast in their own foundry using either the lost wax or sand casting method. Artisans take the various cast parts and carefully weld them together. After up to several days of welding, sanding, and polishing, the metal sculpture takes its final form and the patina artists then have their turn. Their team of patina artists uses various techniques to give the solid brass sculpture color and texture. Art Finish is a hand-applied, cold patina technique that results in an illusion of light shimmering and reflecting off wildlife swimming in clear blue water. Verdi and bronze pieces are also produced using a cold patina process. Classic bronze finish is oil rubbed by hand to produce a beautiful warm tone. With their Imperial Finish pieces, patina artists using a combination of fine brushes and air brushes to apply up to twenty coats of vibrant color patinas meticulously by hand. Several layers of clear lacquer and or two-part urethane coating are applied to provide deep luster and superior protection. A final hand polishing gives the piece that extra shine. Their Signature Series pieces undergo the hot patina process, as detailed on the next page, to give the piece vibrant, deep and complex museum-quality finishes not achievable by any other finishing method.
