Ran across this guy and wondered if anybody had seen anything like it or knew its history? The etching on the bottom says “Sharon Smith ‘76”. I’ve been trying to Google, but I haven’t found any information about the statue or the sculptor.

I am not sure about the story, but my Dad had one of these many moons ago. It has to be from the 70's or early 80's at the latest. No clue what became of it. I have an old ceramic bourbon bottle / music box that is a bulldog figurine. The bourbon has long sense been consumed but the music box still plays the Hail State.
Whatever you do, don't break it. The eyes of that thing look like Sharon trapped the souls of her 5 late husbands inside it.
I have one of the empty bourbon bottle/music boxes too and it still plays.
As for this one it looks like something made at a ceramics class. You would go to those type classes, pick out something you wanted to make spritz the figure with water, paint them however you wanted, put your initials on the bottom and they would run them through the kiln to cure the paint and you come back later and pick them up.
Why am I getting Jobu vibes out of it?
Maybe it should be gifted to the football team? **

100% chance of that thing coming to life while you are asleep
Somebody needs to talk to the strength and conditioning coach about adding some leg days to his program

I have a metal one that looks very similar except it doesn't have the eyes of the damned. Has normal eyes that don't invade your nightmares.
Maybe if you break it 4 bombs will fall out on the floor...
That's an interesting looking professional portable massager.
But they were all of them deceived, for another figurine was made....One figurine to rule them all, one figurine to find them. One figurine to bring them all, and in the the darkness bind them.
I would guess Sharon was a State student in 76 and took the easy elective course in ceramics. I took the same course in the early 80s. I think it was in a building by the band hall.
I made an A in the class. I made simple stuff like an ashtray I could paint one color and didn't require any artistic ability.
Shame on you.
Sharon was a goddess of the ceramic arts unequaled by any other maiden in the Halls of Rice...
1 in 3 chance she is a regular poster's mom.
I crossed paths with her., they used to make all of that stuff, in a ceramics class, not related to MSU.
That I think is from a mold, made a lot other stuff also, I believe.
