      <image:caption>The Bengal Tiger, a large, beautifully hand-painted porcelain sculpture, has a storied history. It was originally sculpted in clay by Chuck Oldham, but when the Franklin Mint first marketed it, they placed another artist's name on the piece (yes, they did that all the time). When the Oldhams stated they would take their account to 60 Minutes, the Mint retracted the name and removed it from further productions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Cybis Great Horned Owl was among Chuck Oldham's first porcelain sculptures for Cybis Porcelains. At the time, in the 1970s, it sold for $3,750 and was used by the US government diplomats as a gift to heads of states of foreign countries. It required scores of individual molds to produce in hard paste porcelain and is entirely hand painted using overglaze requiring additional firings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The life-size porcelain screech owl family by Chuck Oldham was one of our last pieces for Cybis. By then, much of the fine giftware industry in the United States was transitioning to Asian production, moving away from porcelain and toward reproductions in resin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The prairie dog by Chuck Oldham was among his first works for Cybis. He never approved of how they painted this piece, or others. His job was to create the clay models and rework the plaster models required for plaster molds to cast in porcelain slip.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chuck Oldham created The American Wild Turkey porcelain sculpture for Cybis in the 1970s. It was available in two finishes: in white porcelain (mostly unpainted) and in color, fully hand painted. Although it was issued in a very limited edition, we were lucky to obtain one of a few artist proofs. Unfortunately, when it was shipped as a gift to my aunt, it broke into hundreds of pieces. Thankfully, we were able to super glue it all back together!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Arctic Fox and lemmings created for Cybis Porcelains in the 1970s was among Chuck's first works. We actually adopted an Eskimo spitz at from the local shelter to use as a model. Of course we kept him (named "White Dog," of all things) and he lived to be 18 years old!</image:caption>
