Description

Bold, bright, and with an unmistakable proud and boastful air, this remarkable and charming porcelain piece is a small and delicate porcelain parrot model by the German makers Volkstedt, dating to the early twentieth century.

Small in scale - only 14cm tall in total - the bird is mounted on a small white outcrop, as is typical of German porcelain bird models such as these, across various makers including KPM and Meissen.

Expressive, intricate, and made with evident skill and charm, this fine piece makes a delightful homely sculptural addition, for those with a love and appreciation of antique porcelain sculpture such as this.
