My mother had several unpainted ceramic pieces, including several animals.  This wolf relaxing on rocks is about 6" tall.  On most of the pieces, Mom etched her name and either "San Diego" or "Kodiak" and the year (1981, etc.) on the bottom.  Perfect condition with no cracks or chips.  You can use acrylic paint labeled "multi-surface" designed for items like plastic, metal, ceramics, etc., available at arts and crafts stores.  Regular acrylic will not stick.  Please search my user name for additional ceramics and other items for sale, and please e-mail if you have any questions.
