Ceramic bird figurine with gold accent decoration
Estimated Value
$25-$100
A stylized modernist bird figurine, likely a decorative porcelain or ceramic sculpture. The piece features an abstract, flowing form with elongated wings and body, finished in a high-gloss white glaze and accented with metallic gold details along the body and base. The design suggests mid-century or later decorative taste, possibly intended as a table ornament or shelf display piece rather than a functional object. No maker's mark is visible in the image, so attribution remains uncertain.
