Single Figurine Goldfinch bird

Since the 18th century, the Meissen porcelain manufactory has been devoted to the lifelike portrayal of birds with great artistic passion. Inspired by intensive studies of nature and supported by centuries of expertise, finely crafted porcelain figurines continue to be created, combining vitality with the highest level of craftsmanship.

The Yellowhammer figurine in Meissen porcelain, height 2 in. (5 cm), is a particularly delicate example of this long-standing tradition. The yellowhammer captivates with its bright yellow plumage accented by warm brown markings, making it a characteristic resident of meadows, fields, and hedgerows. Its gentle expression and lively presence give this small figure a remarkable charm despite its compact size.

Depicted in a natural, characteristic pose, the figurine impresses with refined proportions and carefully detailed featherwork. The nuanced, hand-applied painting beautifully highlights the radiant yellow tones, lending the 2-inch figure an impressive sense of realism.

The creation of this piece involves numerous sophisticated steps-from precise mold making and careful casting to multiple firings and delicate hand-painted decoration. Each stage requires exceptional precision, experience, and artistic sensitivity, making this small bird figurine a true porcelain work of art in the long tradition of Meissen craftsmanship.
