Item Description
Michael Ricker (American, 1940-2006) was an accomplished Colorado based artist with a focus on sculpture. Ricker began creating pewter, collectible sculpture in 1968. Ricker's process involves use of Old English Pewter ingots which are melted down to cast limited edition sculptures and other works of art. By 1991, construction of a new museum, gallery and casting studio had been completed which further enhanced the collectabilty of his limited edition sculptural works of art.
Ricker passed away in 2006, and his brother and sister created the company known as Designs By Ricker where they continue to carry on production of his fabulous work.
The current work a magnificently cast and parcel gilt finished Lion pride / Lion family atop a brass and black finished stand on four feet. The stand is mounted with a plaque denoting: the title 'Lion Pride', the artist name Michael Ricker, as well as the number of the edition: '25/200'.
The limited edition sculpture comes together with its official Certificate of Title denoting the works title, hallmark number of casting, issue price, total castings limited to, date of casting, appraised value and date of appraisal.
*There is a discrepancy with the Certificate of Authenticity which calls the sculpture 'Lion Family' while the sculpture titles the work 'Lion Pride' as well as stating the total number of castings limited to 100 on the Cert. of Auth. while the plaque on the sculpture denotes it is # 25 / 200.
10 1/2"L x 8 1/2"D - sculpture
7 1/2"H x 12"W x 9 1/2"D - total on stand
Condition: Good overall, with minimal wear to the gilt finish but overall presents very nicely.
