ART PIECE Hedgehog Figurine
JPY 5,500 (incl. tax)
In 2017, animal figurines handmade one by one in our Tokyo workshop joined the POTPURRI collection.
Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
Short little legs and round eyes give this hedgehog a friendly air.
With its charming raised spines, the hedgehog has quietly become a popular pet, too.
Its short little legs and round eyes give it a friendly air. Hedgehogs belong to an ancient lineage of mammals and are sometimes called “living fossils.” They are nocturnal and like tucked-away corners—knowing a little about their habits can make finding a place for this figurine even more enjoyable.

Things we need, things we do not—and things we still want in our lives
POTPURRI has made art pieces since its early days. In 2018, production moved from Seto in Aichi Prefecture to our Tokyo workshop. Every stage is done by hand, from making the original model and developing the glaze to producing the finished pieces.
From getting the shape out of its mold to firing it, these animals take time to make
Each piece begins with a clay model by Okami. The animals' expressive, freeform shapes are not naturally suited to making multiples in molds. At POTPURRI, Okami works as both designer and model maker, partnering closely with the craftsperson from the original model through production. The hedgehog, with its carefully shaped spines, has the charm of fitting snugly in the palm of your hand. Its deep gray color brings winter to mind.
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop opened in 2017, beginning with hand-painted Fajans pieces.
Today, half of our art pieces are made in the Tokyo workshop.

From Arctic polar bears and grassland hedgehogs to waterbirds and savanna buffalo, our growing collection takes inspiration from animals around the world. Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
