Meissen  Magpie  Bird on Stump Porcelain Large Art Deco

 

This is a handsome Meissen bird s perched on elaborate detailed grey tree trunk base with pastel green foliage.

The Magpie is very lifelike, and finely modeled in a handsome pose, with a long raised erect tail. The bird has beautiful black and white plumage with a black face and coal black eyes, open beak with coral red tongue. On the undersides is the Meissen mark. The composition of the piece is exquisitely laid out in a natural setting. The coloration and glaze  accentuates  the beayty of the  Magpie 

Look carefully at photographs, for the molding on the wings, tail, feet and base branch ... details in the unique way that is the hallmark of Meissen porcelain figurines. It is finished in a shiny glaze and painted in vivid hues.

Size:

The massive bird stands approximately 21 inches tall from base to top of tail on base of about 4 1/2'' diameter.

Condition : In very good condition with no damage that I have noticed.

Maker: Meissen- Modelled originally by JJ Kaendler - The bird is marked underneath the base with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark and incised line below, and additional incised model mark 0f No.62-Most probably very late 19th Century or early 20th century

Provenance : The bird is from a private collection of birds- an antique entrepreneur of the 1940's and 1950's who amassed these porcelain figurines mostly in 1950's- They are from the collection of my father John Hall Haardt- He carefully chose many fine Meissen, Worcester, Rosenthal’s.

 See my Mother's Antique  Magazine she   colected  years ago with   Magpie  and info 

Meissen, near Dresden in Germany, started in 1710. The artistic influence of the designer J.J. Kändler and the painter J.J. Hoeroldt, formed the unique team that initiated the creation of delicate and fine wares, and Meissen gained a reputation for quality equal to that of the very finest Chinese porcelain in production at the time. 

This is a handsome  rare Meissen bir d naturally modeled and perched on an elaborate d etailed white tree trunk base with pastel green foliage . On the undersides is the Meissen mark. 

A wonderful addition for a serious collector.
