This outstanding early KPM Berlin porcelain hawk model is a remarkable example of naturalistic craftsmanship. Painted in shades of brown and beige, the hawk is perched on a branch with one talon, while the other firmly grasps its prey. Its alert expression, with the head turned to the side, suggests vigilance, as though it's scanning for competing predators. The name of the bird, "HABICHT" (German for hawk), is impressed under the tail, a characteristic feature of early KPM pieces of this type. The figure also bears the blue, under-glaze scepter mark, dating it to before 1837.

A rare collector's item, this figure makes a striking decorative accent, whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a larger collection, particularly in classic or traditional interiors. It would also be well-suited for a hunting lodge or a Biedermeier style decor. Hawks symbolize vision, power, and freedom, making this piece a meaningful addition to the home or office of someone who resonates with these qualities. Given the high regard for KPM porcelain, early and rare figures like this one are prized both as decorative art and as long-term investments. In very good condition as shown. Shipped fully insured with tracking number.
