i really like these pieces and have quite a few now. this one is newer, i think - in great condition, and the painting is very good on it. unmarked, as usual.

another post just reminded me that these are called 'Grabber Bird' pieces, although nobody seems to know why.
Beautiful exotic bird vase, it's so gorgeous! The claws are like the birds of prey, maybe why they are called grabbers
thanks Newfld! have you seen my enormous grabber bird urn?
