Vintage Stangl Kentucky Warbler Bird Figurine No 3598

Pottery : Stangl

 

This beautiful Kentucky Warbler bird figure was created by Stangl Pottery and hand painted by one of their artists. The base has an oval under glaze Stangl Pottery stamp, with the shape number 3598 inscribed into the base, dating it mid 1940s – 1960s. It is artist signed, as well, but I have not been able to determine the artist’s name.

This sweet yellow bird has bright vivid colors and a shiny glaze, and is the wide open beak version and has a flat bottom. He measures 3 3/4 inches high and 3 3/4 inches beak to tail.

The only fault is a tiny shallow surface flake under the lower beak. As it is not an actual chip, it could easily be touched with a tiny bit of black paint. The only way it is actually noticeable is to look at the bird’s head straight on with it held at eye level or above. The loss is so shallow that no flaw can be seen when viewing from either side or from the top - looks perfect. As this particular figure normally sells for $65, I have discounted the price accordingly.
