A four piece berry set from Germany consisting of three small bowls and one larger one, each with a Blue & Gold Macaw and Gang-gang Cockatoo in the middle, perched among flowering branches. I especially love the look on the Blue & Gold's face - a sly little look that seems to say he's got a secret that he's not sharing! Each bowl is made of porcelain and is additionally decorated with somewhat scalloped edges, cut-outs along the rim, light blue lustre and gold accents. Nice! The larger bowl measures just over 2" tall and is 8.25" in diameter, while the smaller ones measure 1.25" high and 5+" in diameter. The set is in relatively good condition for its age, having some wear to the transfers (see pic, I have shown a close-up of the one with the most wear), wear and small scratches to the lustre in some places (see that pic, too) and a small chip on the edge of one bowl. I have also noted a "spider web" age crack on the bottom of one (see "Germany" pic) which does not go through to the front and is hard to see except in strong light. The larger bowl is marked "Schumann Bavaria" underneath a lion logo, a mark they began using in 1918. The smaller bowls are simply marked "Germany". A great set for use or display and one with perfect subject matter - Parrots! Very pretty 'n nice, I'm certain you'll be pleased!
