Sparrow Bird Figurine #2

This is a bird figurine made by Meissen in the 20th century. The figure is really nicely modeled and hand painted as one would expect from the top maker. It is a sparrow which I remember being all over the place in Germany when I was a kid but don't see very foten around here. They used to clean up every little scrap of food :) The bird is perched on a tree stump that has two short branches with some leaves growing out of it and three applied leaves / flowers along the bottom. It's anice looking figurine! The figure displays perfectly but it has one chipped leaf as well as one that is all gone. Not obvious unless you look for it. The piece is marked underneath with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark, a painter's mark as well as the usual impressed marks as shown. It is just under 5.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 4 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $349
