This Springer Spaniel Pointing Weathervane was first commissioned by a couple living in the New Territories of Hong Kong. They sent us photos of their dog, Hardy, to enable us to exactly replicate the dog’s markings in optional gold leaf. As the weather vane weathers and darkens these markings will become even more distinct. Our skilled artisans fabricated this swell bodied piece in copper, with brown glass eyes. They use their individual custom hammers and repoussé technique to create the fur texture.

There are ‘Lucky Pennies’ sealed inside from important years in our customer’s life. The traditional penny from the year of completion is capping the arrow and fletching. There are personal inscriptions on each side of the the horizontal tube of the arrow. Because this weather vane was to be mounted on an exposed deck railing in an area subject to typhoons, a Security Device was requested.

Dog weather vanes are very popular. Our canine friends are so dear, it is a comfort to celebrate all the joy they add to our lives. If this, of our many dog designs in our catalog, is close to the dog weathervane you want, our specialty is personalizing our designs to be what you are looking for.
