Unusual Italian Mama & Baby Bird Figurine

Pottery : Figurines

 

A very sweet ceramic figurine from Italy, depicting a Mama bird selflessly feeding her young chick, who looks as though that worm can't get in his mouth fast enough! The figurine is handpainted in soothing colors and measures just over 7" tall and is 3.75" x 2.75" at the base. It is in good condition save for an age related crack at the front of the base (see pic) and a glaze flake (not a chip) on the edge of Mama's wing. The bottom is marked with a paper label which reads "Ceramiche, 900/80, Italy". Very different and quite compelling to look at despite its simplicity. You'll like!
