White porcelain or bisque decorative bird-covered spherical box/lidded vessel
Estimated Value
$25-$100
A round, white ceramic decorative object featuring three raised birds in relief arranged around the top and sides of a spherical body. The birds are sculpted with detailed feathers, wings, and tails, giving the piece a stylized naturalistic look. The surface appears matte-to-satin in the recessed areas with a glossier finish on the raised forms, suggesting either glazed porcelain or a mixed-texture decorative ceramic. The object may be a lidded box, trinket container, or ornamental vessel, though the opening or lid seam is not clearly visible from this angle. The design is highly decorative and likely intended for display rather than utilitarian use.
