St. Peter
Released in 1981 as design number 2157.
This sculpture was introduced in 1981. The 1981 and 1982 price lists and the 1982 Cybis catalog list St. Peter as measuring 16 3/4" tall. The picture in the 1982 catalog shows St. Peter displayed on a wooden base. The sculpture shown on this page measures just over 15 1/4". None of the items shown in historical sales listings over the last 20 years have the base. It is not uncommon for bases to become separated and lost when not attached to the porcelain sculpture. What is uncommon, is for the measurements listed in the studio's publications to include the base when measuring overall height. With the base or without, St. Peter is a sizeable sculpture. Released as a Limited Edition of 500 it is likely the edition was never completed. Historical sales found had several edition numbers in the 200 to 227 range so at least that many can be assumed to have been produced. Priced at $1,250 it was either completed or discontinued between January 1, 1984 and February1, 1986.
No variations are known to exist.
Areas most commonly found with damage on this piece are the fingers on his raised hand and the golden key being lose or broken off (and missing).
