1968 Playing Budgies Figure from Germany
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $2.15 USD

A most elegant Budgerigar figurine from Goebel of West Germany, featuring a pair of those precious Parakeets at play. I absolutely love the way the birds are posed, with the bottom bird's wings outstretched in gleeful abandon while the topmost bird looks on as if she's not sure she wants to play! The birds are 6.5" in height and about 7" in width from wing tip to wing tip. You'll find them in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. I have noticed a little roughness on the end of the blue one's tail but it is felt rather than see and I'm pretty sure it's original (see pic). There is also a glaze skip on Blue's head (see that pic, too).The bottom is marked with the figurine's foil label, which identifies the birds in three different languages. and also has "CV95, 1968" pressed into the porcelain. The Goebel "bee in V" logo is present as well. The handpainted detail on the birds is very well done and they are quite life-like. If you love Budgies then these guys will definitely
touch your heart!
