Temuka string mouse
On the site there are a couple of queries about this wee mouse, and I am going to be so bold as to say it's Temuka. I have one on my shelves and its glaze is identical to all that brown dinnerware. 13 cm nose to tail.

I agree 100% with your call on Temuka, as the glaze tells me this loud and clear

Re: Temuka string mouse
Although I can't help but wonder why the hole is on the back of its neck and not where its tail would be?! Shouldn't the string come out looking like its tail? But I still love it! LOL.

Re: Temuka string mouse
Hole on back of neck is for a little pair of scissors that makes its 'ears' it should also have somewhere for the string to come out the back
hon john's example shows with the scissors

Hmm, I have seen pictures of these but never found one in a shop. My collection (vast) is incomplete!

Re: Temuka string mouse
Maryr, you are most welcome to have a browse, just give me plenty of warning first so I can get out boxes, plus get rid of hubby for a while, I don't think he would want to know just how much I have salted away here! (ahem!)

Re: Temuka string mouse
Well talk about coincidence! Just a few days after mentioning the fact that I have not seen a string mouse for sale, I find one in an op shop today! Filthy black but scrubbed up well and now sitting on bench with scissors and string.
