Collection of five bisque porcelain bird models
Continental, 20th Century
Largest: Height 15cm, width 14cm, depth 11cm
This beautifully modelled set of five bird figurines showcases the delicate artistry of bisque porcelain, crafted by several European porcelain manufacturers. Made from unglazed porcelain, each piece is carefully sculpted and hand-painted to depict a variety of charming birds in lifelike detail.
Perched on decorative bases shaped with foliage, blooms, and fruit, the birds in this set display a delightful sense of naturalism. One figure portrays a goldfinch curiously peering down at branches below, while another features a sparrow serenely resting on a floral plinth, accompanied by a tiny ladybird nestled on a leaf.
Among the contributing makers are renowned names such as Edoardo Tasca from Italy, Vista Alegre of Portugal, and Spain’s Buen Retiro. Each figurine is marked with the manufacturer’s signature or hallmark.
Ideal for collectors of ornithological art or European porcelain, this refined set brings together decorative elegance and artistic craftsmanship. -
