Green Parakeet Figurine

This is a very hard to find figurine of a parakeet bird first designed by Robert Ullmann in 1934. This is the green version which is rarer than the blue one - I have seen the blue one a few times but never the green one so I was excited to add him to my collection. We had three of these little birds when I was a kid and they were a lot of fun! Quite smart really. The green one used to play Yahtzee with us which was the funniest thing. The figure is superbly modeled grooming itself while sitting on some cubes - not sure what they are meant to be but they look rather Art Deco. A very realistic piece and quite a typical pose for these birds if you are familiar with them. The figurine is in perfect condition which is amazing given all the fragile parts to this figure, especially the tail. The piece is 5 inches tall, 5.25 inches from head to tail and 2.5 inches deep. The figure is marked underneath with the blue shield with the crown on top as well as the word Wien underneath, a black 77 or LL as well as a 234 as the painter's mark, impressed letter J and number 1724 and on the side of the base it has Robert Ullmann 1934 impressed.
