Each bird is rendered with deep green plumage, bright yellow beaks and feet, and multicolored wing feathers in red, blue, and yellow. The figures stand on naturalistic brown bases with elongated necks and slightly open beaks that give the pair an animated presence. The detailed feather pattern and glossy glaze highlight the sculptural modeling of the birds. Designed as a complementary pair, they display well on a console, bookshelf, or tabletop and add a classic decorative accent. See less
