Pair Of Saxon Porcelain Parrots, Late 19th Century

Pair of Polychrome Porcelain Parrots – Germany, Late 19th Century.
A charming pair of polychrome porcelain parrots depicted perched on a tree trunk adorned with cherries and flowers. The birds are rendered with a naturalistic style: turquoise and blue plumage highlighted with red, black beaks, and expressive eyes.
Each parrot adopts a slightly different pose, creating a pleasing balance. The bases, shaped like stylized tree trunks, are decorated with hand-painted flowers.
This piece is in keeping with the tradition of German Saxon manufacturers (in the Volkstedt, Rudolstadt, or Sitzendorf region), renowned at the end of the 19th century for their naturalistic animal figures intended to decorate bourgeois interiors.


A blue painted mark is present on both birds.
