Pair Of Shiwan Ceramic Cranes Or Herons - China
Pair of turquoise-glazed stoneware wading birds, probably from the Shiwan (Canton) workshops, dating from the very end of the 19th century (Qing dynasty).
The bird's slender silhouette features plumage treated in light relief, resting on a naturalistic base simulating a rock.
The enamel is an intense turquoise blue with cobalt-blue nuances in the hollows.
The beak treatment is achieved with a matte glaze in brown tones creating a contrast with the plumage.
The interior of the sculptures is hollow, revealing a grainy ochre terracotta.
It confirms traditional, hand-crafted fabrication.
This lovely pair of waders is a nice size with a height of 41 cm .
No mark or signature, which is not unusual for objects of this period destined for export to Europe.
