Seagull

Seagull

This is a seagull made by Meissen in the 20th century. It is one of my favorite bird they made and I don’t think they ever made a painted version or at least I have never seen one. It is a first quality piece which is also hard to find. Most are seconds or worse. The seagull is modelled with its wings spread sitting on top of a foaming wave. The piece sits on top of a wooden black base which makes it look even better. Hard to photograph this one! The figurine is in super condition. The bird is marked in the back of the base with the underglazed blue crossed swords mark and I am sure there are some incised and impressed numbers underneath but I didn’t take the wooden base off to look. The whole piece is 17 inches (43cm) tall, 10 inches (25cm) wide and about 6.5 inches (16.5cm) deep.
