Featured Porcelain Bird Lidded Container

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with any information about this porcelain bird container? I am unable to find any info myself. I was wondering if it is vintage or antique? Also if the mark on the bottom that looks like a 4 is a makers mark?

Thank you in advance!

 

German or Austrian, late nineteenth into early twentieth.

 

Thank you!

 

Most welcome. It’s very typical of little German bird pieces.

 

With that colouring, I was thinking art deco period, but I love that birdie!

 

Thank you!

 

Attractive little box. I’ve got a Goebel (or one of those other mid tier German porcelain makers) bird that looks similar.

 

I think Art Deco palette too.

Apologies. That's an Art Nouveau image. My bad. Ignore me.

Just saw your apology… I still appreciate you posting it. Beautiful colors and picture

 

When google imaging, I did notice that the bird looked similar to some Goebel birds that popped up in the image results.

 

It’s very like Goebel and also Hutschenreuther too. There’s a delicacy to the little German birds.

 

Do you know what the mark that looks like a 4 would signify?

 

It’s the decorators piece mark. Those would be added up so that they’d be paid.

 

Thank you

 

Most welcome.
