What an amazing porcelain bird sculpture by the Italian artist Guido Cacciapuoti ! This is ceramic art at it's finest. The detail of the hand painting is exquisite, very realistic.

The piece is free from chips, cracks and no crazing. It comes without the original packaging.

 I believe that it dates to the late 1940's, early 1950's. It has the appropriate hallmarks and is signed and numbered. The dimensions are approximately 7" at the tallest point of height, 3" in length/width and 4" in depth at tail tip.
