Hello everyone!!
You saw my large ceramic rabbit, that I posted previously. Here is the match to that one. As I mentioned before, these are both signed across the bottom along with the year 1981. We display them just as you see them in the 4th pic.
Thank you all so very much for dropping by!!

Love the bunny & pose Scott, he looks so real - without the bow he would look just like my childhood real white bunny rabbit Fluffy, my dad got him for me from a farm one Easter & he lived in our garage
Thanks Jenni!! We always wanted rabbits on our farm, as a kid, but our parents said they'd be far too much trouble to raise and we never got our rabbits:(
Thanks Ken!! They do make a great pair.
Just plain CUTE~!
Thank you Bonnie!!!

Hey there!! Hoping you're still active here. This is going to sound pretty "out there", but these rabbits (aside from being very cute) may actually be able to help solve a mystery about computer graphics history.
Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_bunny - this is THE 3D model that everybody uses to test all kinds of 3D simulations. https://engineering.stanford.edu/news/tale-ubiquitous-stanford-bunny Here's an interview about how that came to happen.
Nobody has figured out who the actual artist behind the original sculpture was, though!
I believe that your sitting rabbit here may have been cast from one of the same type of molds that eventually produced the Stanford Bunny. From my investigation so far, it LOOKS like Sittre Ceramic Productions was the original producer of this mold.
The mold has been seemingly bootlegged and/or licensed out to other companies repeatedly over time, though, so I can't currently say with 100% certainty that the Sittre version is the original. It's absolutely the oldest and highest-detail version of the rabbits I've found- and the only one with an actual signature/copyright included (which seems to have been removed in later iterations...)
If you have any info about the history of these two rabbits, where they came from, photos of the copyright/signature, any other info- I'd love to hear it! It feels wrong to me that a piece of art that's so ubiquitous in the computer graphics world has never had its actual sculptor found and credited- I'd love to see this mystery solved.
