Butch Ceramic Dachshund Figurine – Peacock 2025
Details
Willow Bonsai Ceramics is a family-run pottery studio in Avondale, Colorado, led by founder Antony Smith and his wife, Mavourneen Smith. Antony began the pottery business in 2014 after purchasing a small ceramics operation in South Africa; Mavourneen joined full time in 2016. Their U.S. studio opened in August 2024. Drawing on Antony’s landscape-design background and lifelong interest in bonsai, they develop forms that balance planting function with visual detail. Their values center on hands-on work, careful finishing and small-batch character: Antony designs, casts and glazes, while Mavourneen refines pieces and oversees quality control.
Butch Ceramic Dachshund Figurine – Peacock 2025
Add a small handmade accent to a desk, shelf or bedside table with this Butch dachshund figurine in Peacock 2025. The elongated dog silhouette celebrates the recognizable shape of a dachshund in a compact stoneware sculpture. At 2.5 in long × 1.5 in high, it fits into a small display without taking over the surrounding space.
The piece is made in small batches and finished by hand. Its ceramic surface and glaze can vary from the photographed example, giving each figurine an individual appearance. This listing is for the Peacock 2025 finish, making it easy to coordinate with an existing collection or choose a color for a dog-loving recipient.
This piece gains individual surface character through a hands-on studio process. Glaze colors and textures may differ from the photographs; these variations are expected in handmade ceramics.

Materials
Materials and Craftsmanship
These ceramics begin with an in-house design and a master used to create a mold. Each ceramic piece is slip cast by hand, refined and fired in the Colorado studio. Molds provide a consistent starting form, while hand finishing and the firing process give the final surface its individual character. The studio tests commercial glazes on its clay body and fires its ceramics at 2300°F, or 1260°C.
The finish belongs to the Peacock 2025 selection shown for this listing. Reactive and hand-finished glazes develop during firing, giving every fired surface its own variation. The photographs illustrate this finish.
Care
Care
Dust gently with a soft cloth and support the figurine when moving it. Use a lightly damp cloth for routine surface cleaning, then dry it. Keep the ceramic feet and projecting details protected from knocks. Place it on a stable, level surface where it can be enjoyed without frequent handling.
