Description

The “Bat-Eared” fox was arguably the signature piece of Edouard Marcel Sandoz’s (1881 – 1971) sculpture. He returned to the animal again in various poses; sitting, standing and curled up looking wistfully at the viewer. He drew the fox, painted the fox, cast it in bronze (Up to seven individuals in one piece) and for the Haviland Limoges Company designed it for three boxes of various sizes in 1921. Known as the “Bonbonniere-Fenek” it is pictured on page 135 in Les Creations en Porcelaine d’Edourard Marcel Sandoz by Jean Segonds. The boxes are 4 ½”, 5” and 6 ½” in diameter and are in excellent condition.
