Collection of four bisque porcelain bird models

Crafted from bisque porcelain, the four birds in this collection celebrate both the beauty of the natural world and the artistry of well-known porcelain manufactories.

The goldfinch, exquisitely rendered in vibrant yellow with black and white accents, bears the mark of ‘Goebel / W Germany’. Founded in 1871, this esteemed German porcelain company used this marking between 1949 and 1990, during the period when Germany was divided among the Allied powers following World War II.

A charming pair of house sparrows perches on delicate branches, one with its beak open, as if caught mid-song. This figure, produced in Germany by Royal Meridian, was crafted exclusively for Noritake, a distinguished Japanese tableware manufacturer.

The great tit, skilfully sculpted by Vista Alegre, a Portuguese porcelain manufacturer, is depicted perched on a branch, its head tilted downward as if keenly observing something below.

The final bird in this collection was created by Lefton, a Japanese brand known for fine porcelain and collectibles. The bisque porcelain is beautifully hand-painted, with delicate white strokes adding a luminous effect, mimicking the sheen of feathers.

This exquisite collection makes a superb decorative addition to any home, particularly for those with a passion for ornithology and fine craftsmanship.
