This pair of porcelain bullfinch figurines, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory between 1745 and 1755, exemplifies the artistry of German porcelain production during the Rococo period. Each bird is meticulously modeled with delicate details, including the intricate plumage and the subtle variations in color. They are perched on naturalistic bases, adding to the sense of realism and capturing the essence of these charming songbirds. These figures showcase the Meissen Manufactory's mastery in creating highly detailed and lifelike porcelain sculptures, contributing to the European fascination with this material during the 18th century.
