    Hi all. There's no maker mark on this piece, just wondering if anyone is familiar with similar pieces. The stem, leaves and unopened flower buds are metal (guessing bronze due to a small unpainted section on the bottom), and the bird and opened flowers are ceramic. Google has failed me in finding anything similar. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...

    Albany China Royal Worcester. As yours is unmarked, I don’t know, but you can look through those.

    It is very pretty, Jamie. And very beautiful pictures, but please put them in your thread, as I need help said.

    Any ornithologists in the group who can identify that bird? It may not be a "real" bird, but if anyone has any thoughts I could use the help. Thank you.

    Here are some pictures of the bottom of the piece. The last one simply shows the one exposed bit of metal. I can't find any maker's mark - maybe one of you hawkeyed pros can.

    E418EDCA-973B-47AC-877F-8FA7AD9BDB87.jpeg In noticing the hole at the bottom, it is possible this was attached to a base like this. If so, it may have had a plaque with the maker. However in looking at the Albany China, I don’t see any with painted leaves.
    It’s still very nicely done. Sorry I can’t narrow it down any more than that.
