My wife has had this raku fired ceramic pig for years and it recently got
broken. I am hoping to replace it with one form the same maker but all I
have to by is the makers mark on the back of the pig and a sticker that says
Made in Canada.

Here are the addressses of the pictures I took of the broken pig in hopes
that some Clayarter might recognise this artists work.

Thanks all,

I am rather amazed at my luck in finding this:

The artist is Vlodek Tydor, a graduate of Poland's Poznan College of Art and
Design. He emigrated to Canada in 1981. Since that time he has pursued a
number of crafts including pottery, but has apparently focussed more
exclusively on pottery in the past few years.
