Parrot 1735 - 1745

This porcelain parrot sculpture, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1735 and 1745, is a fine example of German porcelain artistry. The parrot is perched on a tree stump adorned with leaves and flowers, showcasing the meticulous detail and craftsmanship of the Meissen factory. The lifelike depiction of the parrot, with its detailed feathers and striking pose, highlights the skillful modeling and painting techniques employed by the artists. This figurine, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the Meissen Manufactory's contribution to European porcelain production during the Rococo period.
