 With the huge success of Smugglers Creak
David Winter's resourcefulness for coming up with even more new and exciting
pieces remained undiminished, and in 1991 the emergence of a remarkable
sculpture called Castle in the Air was created. Just ten years after
The Village had been hailed as his masterpiece, many collectors felt
that Castle in the Air had taken its place and that David had reached
the limits of the mouldmakers ability create the working moulds. It is amazing
how the talents of all those involved had increased in less then twelve years
since that first Mill House was sold in Guildford High Street.
Other original and creative pieces were also being made
during the early 1990's. The highly inventive Limited Time Piece Mad Baron
Fourthrite's Folly was released. It has many metal additions including
three metal figurines and a chain link fence. This piece was only available for
one year in 1992 with collectors only being told that the final number of
pieces made was 18,854 when the moulds were destroyed.
Mad
Baron Fourthrite's Folly was such a success that the following year another
Limited Time Piece, Horatio Pernickety's Amorous Intent, was released.
This piece had even more metal additions and figurines and is full of detail
from the ornate bench at the front all the way up to the chimney pots. All the
problems which befell The Grange had now been solved and this piece has
become the cottage with the most detailed metal work made so
far. |
