At 11 inches tall, the piece has incredible presence — part functional barware, part whimsical sculpture.

The hand-formed ceramic body is richly textured with layered feather modeling and finished in a striking red glaze rarely seen in figural barware of this period. The silverplate head is beautifully cast with an exaggerated crest, expressive eyes, and a scalloped collar — an intentional nod to earlier European Art Deco metalwork. Together the materials create a glamorous, playful silhouette that feels equally at home in Palm Beach Regency, Hollywood Revival, or eclectic maximalist settings.

Perfect as a bar cart focal point, bottle chiller, ice bucket, or purely as a sculptural decorative object. A true conversation piece.
