Miniature figure of a cockatoo 1745 - 1750

This miniature figure of a cockatoo was created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1745 and 1750. The delicate porcelain sculpture, measuring just over two inches tall, depicts the bird perched on a branch. Meissen, a German porcelain factory, was renowned for its fine white porcelain and its detailed animal figurines. This piece is a testament to the artistry and skill of the Meissen artisans during the 18th century, capturing the cockatoo's vibrant plumage with exquisite detail.
