The Pinnacle of Porcelain Artistry: Limited to 999 Pieces. Elevate your collection with a true titan of German craftsmanship: Frisky Friends (HUM 2008/III). This 2017 Masterpiece Collection release is strictly limited to only 999 pieces worldwide, making it one of the rarest large-scale works available today. It captures a spirited Bavarian boy in a moment of pure joy with his two "Westie" (West Highland White Terrier) companions. The composition is a technical marvel, carefully angled to radiate the deep communication and trust between a boy and his best friends.

Unparalleled "Masterpiece" Complexity: The "Masterpiece" status is earned through extraordinary labor and skill. This grand figurine is constructed from 24 distinct parts and hand-painted in 32 individual steps using a palette of 26 vibrant colors. Notable artisan details include:

• The "Wet-on-Wet" Technique: Used on the boy’s jacket to create a realistic, worn texture.

• Multi-Layered Depth: The dogs' fur is airsprayed with layered tones for life-like vitality.

• The Master’s Signature: The boy’s eyes feature four eyelashes instead of the typical three—a hallmark reserved exclusively for Hummel’s most prestigious works.
