Goody Tiptoes Miniature Cold Painted Bronze Figure - Unsigned - Beatrix Potter

A charming antique Austrian cold-painted bronze figure of a squirrel holding a basket, executed in the classic Vienna/Bergman style and reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s “Timmy Tiptoes” storybook characters.

The figure is beautifully modeled, with the squirrel standing upright and clutching a finely detailed basket filled with gathered food. The sculptural detail in the tail, fur texture, and expressive posture gives the piece a strong narrative quality, typical of early Vienna bronzes.

Cast in solid bronze and finished with traditional cold painting, the piece shows honest age-related wear, with areas of lots of paint loss revealing a warm, rich patina beneath—an authentic and desirable feature of genuine examples.
