Bone China Circus Pony

I saw this bone china circus pony (probably by Shiken) on eBay and made an offer for it. My offer was accepted, so home it came!

It's my sixth HR knock-off circus pony, and all are different! I wonder just how many are out there, and hope to find more of them. Vancouver, WA

Shiken HR Circus Pony Copy

Gayle Roller knows her stuff. (And she should; she has written many books on Hagen Renakers!)

But I wondered when she listed this piece on eBay. Yes, it had a Shiken sticker, and the right ear looks a smidge long, but other than that, it is a real fooler for the HR Head Up Circus Pony.

I have been buying up all the Japan Circus Ponies I can find - I love them despite that fact that theya re not HRs. Happy to add this one to my collection.
