This pair of daws, produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1745 and 1755, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of English porcelain during the 18th century. The birds, realistically sculpted and painted in vibrant blue, red, and green, perch on detailed tree branches adorned with leaves and blossoms. Their open beaks and lively postures suggest a moment of animated interaction, reflecting the natural world's captivating energy. These figurines exemplify the burgeoning interest in naturalism and the artistic exploration of flora and fauna that characterized the Rococo era in Europe.
