I bought these dogs without asking about the material thinking they were bisque porcelain like so many other things I have from Leonardo's collection. I am selling them now and a client asked if they were resin. That question confused me, I fear I was wrong. Can anyone help me know the material that makes these dogs?
Thank you very much.

We sold a bunch of these in the Hallmark store I worked in and they were all resin. I don't remember any of the dogs in this series being glass, but that was a long time ago.
What may help you is knowing that bisque is a rough glass and will shatter if dropped. Porcelain is a smooth glass that will shatter if dropped.
You an usually tell by running your thumb nail over it which material it is. The other thing is if you "ping" it...resin sounds like a thud, bisque sounds like a thump , and porcelain sounds almost like a chime.
Thank you verry much I ll check them
Any time! Enjoy them! They are sweet!
I have had some of this collection in the past that had the original paperwork and I'm almost positive they were made of resin.
Doing research it seems that most people do not really know what these are made of and so just leave that part out of the description.
I see that you have your pieces listed for sale on Etsy and they look nice.

Thanks! yes, they're mine. I loved them at first glance and automatically thought they were bisque porcelain so bought them without asking about the materials.
You cannot always rely on what someone tells you so maybe someone will answer that has some of the original paperwork or boxes.
Resin may be a little coarser feeling than bisque but is not as fragile and usually figurines have a 'real' look about them.
These 2 lovely pieces are a blend of materials, to offer long life and collection, from the 1999 collection . Online they are desirable sets because of it's choice, being puppies and kittens. They have them for sale on Etsy - kittens $37 and puppies asking a little more at around $46 - www.etsy.com/
