Fine China Blue and White Bird , has multiple maker marks on bottom . Beautifully painted and glazed , in Pristine condition , stands 4 1/2 inch tall and 4 inch wide from wing to wing . Another thrift find for me , couldn't believe someone let it go ! Any help identifying origin made or maker would be appreciated .
Could be Russian.
Great find Pat!
Well! Ain't he the cock o' the walk! He even has SHOES on! He needs to be placed where he's looking in a mirror! Too cute!
It look like chinese in the gold mark to me. Does it say 'Kong"??
Thanks for the comments & loves !
Celiene thank you , the Vanity Bird does sit in a mirrored cabinet !!(-: It seemed most appropriate place for it .
That cathedral mark on the bottom - someone should know that! It is clearly a church of some sort. But he is not wearing a cross of any sort.
Yeah - maybe Russian Orthodox. He has a hat on - and what is in his left hand (wing)?
It is Russian! It is Gzhel Porcelain. Made in and around the town of Gzhel.
Celiene the bird is holding a hand mirror , that's why I gave it the Vanity Bird title ; because she is so vain admiring herself . I will research further and post any new information I find . Thanks again !
Incredible stuff!
