Kaiser - Sculpture, Wild Ducks - 23 cm - Bisque Porcelain

Elegant Vintage Kaiser Bisque Porcelain Sculpture "Wild Ducks". In excellent condition – No reserve. A classic Museum-quality piece of German artistry. This magnificent sculpture, depicting a dramatic moment of a duck taking flight while another rests, is a true eye-catcher and a prime example of mid-century German artistry. Manufactured by the renowned Kaiser Porcelain in 1956, this piece is crafted from exquisite bisque (unglazed) porcelain, giving it a luxurious, matte white finish that highlights every feather and dynamic gesture. The detailed execution confirms its status as a heavy quality object within fine decorative arts. Sourced from a private collection, this is a highly desirable piece for collectors. Historical Context: Founded in 1872, A. Kaiser & Co. established itself as one of Germany's most respected porcelain manufacturers, prized for its high-quality bisque figurines. This sculpture, officially titled "Wild Ducks" (or "Pair of Ducks"), was designed in 1956, representing a post-war return to realistic, expressive naturalism in German decorative arts. The use of unglazed bisque porcelain was a deliberate artistic choice, offering a tactile, marble-like finish that emphasizes the sculptural form over glossy colour. Stamped with the authentic ‘Kaiser’ mark on the underside, this piece is a historically correct and documented item, solidifying its place as a true museum-quality piece of German craftsmanship. Dimensions and Details: Dimensions (approx.): 23 x 12 x 12 cm (h x w x d) Material: Bisque Porcelain (Matte White) Manufacturer: Kaiser Porcelain Era/Year: 1970s (Signed/Stamped) Model: "Wild Ducks" Condition: This vintage sculpture is presented in excellent vintage condition – no cracks, no dents, and no repairs. The piece has been professionally cleaned, ensuring the matte white surface is pristine and ready for display. The dynamic pose and fine detailing confirm its status as a true eye-catcher and a high-quality collector’s item.
