Chris Makrenos was a talented creator known for his diverse range of works. From decoys to toys, his craftsmanship knew no bounds. In 1937, he crafted a stunning wooden decoy that showcased his attention to detail and skillful artistry. This piece, along with the Amber Pan created in 1941, exemplifies Makrenos' ability to bring life-like beauty into his creations. But it wasn't just decoys and toys that Makrenos excelled at; he also ventured into other mediums. His flask from 1935/1942 is a testament to his versatility as an artist. The intricate design and flawless execution make this piece truly remarkable. One of Makrenos' most charming creations is the Speaking Dog Bank from around 1937. This toy not only captured the hearts of children but also displayed Makrenos' playful imagination and innovative spirit. Makrenos didn't limit himself to small-scale pieces either; he ventured into larger works such as the Tea Store Figure from 1937. This figure exudes elegance and grace while showcasing Makrenos' mastery over sculpting. The Masons cast iron toy bank from around 1937 highlights both Makrenos' creativity and attention to detail in capturing every aspect of its subject matter. Similarly, the Paddy and the Pig toy bank showcases his ability to infuse humor into his work while maintaining impeccable craftsmanship. In addition to these whimsical creations, it also delved into functional art forms like tie-backs, painted Toleware boxes, perfume bottles - each one displaying unique characteristics that set them apart.
