This hand-painted porcelain piece stands about 6.5 inches tall, with a wingspan that stretches gracefully to 3.5 inches wide and a length of 5 inches. Despite being over 50 years old, it’s in near mint condition, which is remarkable given how delicate porcelain can be over decades. The craftsmanship is evident in the careful details—from the soft shading of the blue and white feathers to the careful posture as the bird perches on its decorative tree branch dotted with little blooms. The Zsolnay brand, established way back in 1853 in Pécs, Hungary, is renowned worldwide for its high-quality porcelain and earthenware. The company made its mark by combining traditional methods with a flair for innovative glazes, especially the famous Eosin glaze that gives many of their pieces a unique iridescent shine. Zsolnay’s porcelain figurines—particularly those featuring animals and birds—are respected for their realistic forms, delicate hand-painting, and lifelike attention to the tiniest detail.
