Pair of Italian Glazed Ceramic Bird Figures

A charming pair of Italian glazed ceramic bird figures, each modeled perched upon a naturalistic tree stump base. The finely detailed plumage is rendered in brilliant polychrome glazes—one bird in vibrant cobalt blue with accents of green and yellow, the other in layered shades of emerald and golden ochre. The expressive modeling and richly textured surfaces highlight the craftsmanship typical of mid-20th century Italian ceramics.

Standing at 11.5 inches in height, these figures make a striking decorative statement, whether displayed together as a pair or individually. Their lifelike presence and bold coloration evoke the vibrancy of Italian majolica traditions, while their scale lends them a sculptural quality.
