Up for sale is an incredibly rare, museum-quality find for collectors of vintage fine porcelain and wildlife art. This is an original Factory Production Sample / Prototype of the Andrea by Sadek Ruffed Grouse figurine, hand-sculpted by the artist Boulton. Unlike standard retail variants, this piece was kept internally within the design studio or corporate archives to serve as a design master and quality control benchmark before mass production began. Key Unique Prototype Features. Original Factory Labels: The underside features the original vintage orange-bordered paper sample label with handwritten mold/design number “7071”. Handwritten Studio Notes: The base has the handwritten cursive word “Revised” directly on the porcelain, signaling that this was the finalized, corrected master copy used to guide factory decorators. Authentic Foil Handoff: Includes the original metallic gold “Andrea by Sadek / Hand Painted / Japan” sticker, applied alongside the sample label to verify final brand approval. Artist Signed: The base features the crisp, incised “BOULTON” sculptor signature molded right into the terrain. Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or restorations. The paint remains highly vibrant with gorgeous texturing on the feathers. The original paper labels and foil sticker are fully intact on the underside. Please view the high-resolution photos for the exact condition of the base markings.
