AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking Chinese ceramic heron, finely modelled in a naturalistic pose standing among stylised aquatic plants. The sculpture is richly decorated with vivid green and blue glazed foliage, contrasting beautifully with the grey, brown and bronze-toned plumage. The finely incised feather details and textured surface give the bird an impressive three-dimensional appearance.
A particularly attractive and substantial decorative piece, standing 51 cm high and 23 cm wide, with a base diameter of 11.5 cm.
Condition: Overall very good condition. The tip of the beak has been professionally reattached. There is also one very small glaze chip on a feather.

• Height: 51 cm
• Width: 23 cm
• Base diameter: 11.5 cm
