Pair of porcelain pheasants. Imperial and Royal Vienna Manufactory, 19th century

The exquisite quality of the porcelain beautifully highlights the vibrant plumage of these two pheasants. The palette of autumnal reds, greens, and blues is tastefully rendered, reflecting the tradition of decorative animal sculpture associated with hunting.

These remarkably imposing pieces graced dining rooms, enlivening the space with their color and naturalism.

This pair of porcelain birds, in perfect condition, continues to fuel a lasting interest in European flora and fauna, as well as in naturally elegant and beloved animals.
