Product description
Glazed porcelain “Parrot” sculpture, 20th century – China. Splendid 20th-century Chinese porcelain sculpture depicting a bird, specifically a parrot, perched on a purple rock. This glazed porcelain has a smooth, glossy finish, characteristic of advanced Chinese ceramic techniques. This piece features an extraordinary naturalistic approach, visible, for example, in the parrot's tongue and legs. Furthermore, the beauty of the animal is emphasized by the intense blue, which contrasts greatly with the purple of the base and crest. The entire figure features a notable use of texture, both in the feathers and on the base. In Chinese culture, birds, and parrots in particular, symbolize longevity and joy, and often have auspicious connotations, being commonly depicted on porcelain and textiles. This type of animal sculpture became popular in China in the 19th and early 20th centuries, as part of the export of decorative objects to Europe.
