This guinea pig (also known as a cavey) is so cute, and matches the smaller eggcups, salt and pepper shakers (or cruet sets), figures and moneyboxes that I also have.

The egg-cup takes a standard-large hen's egg, and the guinea pig itself is approximately 3.5 inches from nose to tail. You can just see his tongue and claws poking through. His fur is textured beneath the glaze, and whiskers, large black eyes and floppy ears complete the detailing.

Hand-painted ceramic, brand new, boxed and in perfect condition, this is part of the Quail domestic animal range, and would be perfect for anyone keeping these as pets.
