Royal Worcester Porcelain Sparrow
Philadelphia. Pa.
Bird figurines can be so passe‘ but not when you tuck them into a still-life of contemporary ceramics and greenery—they add just that perfect touch of color, delight, and surprise.
This little bird has a history and a story that goes as far back as the 1930’s when the English company, Royal Worcester created their bird series with naturalist and ornithologist, Dorothy Doughty.
Doughty once wrote:
My work with the birds has been a joyful thing. In this tortured world one of the happiest ways of spending a life is to work closely with nature. Although the miraculous perfection of birds and flowers, and indeed all wild things, is beyond the power of man to portray in any medium, he or she who strives towards it, learns to see even more deeply, to glimpse something of the Infinite, and to feel a privileged and very humble person
Let this little bird give you joy.
