About the Item

An very refined and beautiful pair of parrot sculptures in deep blue glazed Chinese porcelain with a smooth, glossy finish, characteristic of advanced Chinese ceramic techniques. They rest on a gilt bronze base. The bodies feature soft lines and simplified volumes, showcasing a stylized interpretation of the bird. The design includes carved details on the base that resemble rocks or branches with holes on which the birds perch. In Chinese culture, birds, and parrots in particular, symbolize longevity and joy, and often have auspicious connotations, commonly depicted in porcelain and textiles. This type of animal sculpture became popular in China during the 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the export of decorative objects to Europe.
