History of Wicker Bamboo Animals: • Bamboo animal weaving began in 1966, pioneered by master weaver Yu Zhang Gen in Shengxian County, Zhejiang, China. • This intricate craft involves multiple stages, including design, mold-making, weaving, assembly, and applying paint and varnish. • After the Shengxian Bamboo Weaving Factory began producing wicker animals, other bamboo weaving factories across China adopted the practice. • Initially, these wicker animals were exported by Shanghai Handicrafts and later by the Zhejiang Handicrafts Import-Export Corporation, as individual factories lacked direct export rights. This export system meant bamboo animals were not always produced by the same factory, allowing for varied designs across factories. • The wicker dog, for instance, was designed and produced by the Dongyang Bamboo Weaving Factory (serial number contains “Q” or “T”), known for its realistic designs, intricate weaving, and dark-tone paint applications. Thank you for your interest. Please see my other listings for more Chinese wicker animals.
