Polychrome Ceramic Cockatoo Sculpture By Carrieri – Mid-20th Century

An elegant sculpture depicting a crested cockatoo perched on a naturalistic branch, crafted from polychrome ceramic. The bird is rendered with great attention to detail, highlighting the delicacy of its white plumage, its crest and tail accented with vibrant yellow, and its black beak, in an expressive pose characteristic of the species.

Resting on a circular pedestal, this work is signed C. Carrierri on the underside of the base. Its meticulous modeling and high-quality polychrome finish are in keeping with the tradition of mid-20th-century Italian decorative ceramics, reminiscent of animal-themed creations produced in Italy’s major ceramic centers.

A striking decorative sculpture that combines realism, elegance, and fine craftsmanship.
