Steiff Lora Parrot Plush Figure

This is a vintage Steiff plush parrot, specifically identified as 'Lora' based on the visible chest tag. The item measures approximately 4 to 6 inches in length and is constructed from high-quality mohair or synthetic plush fabric typical of mid-to-late 20th-century Steiff productions. The color palette is vibrant, featuring a primary red body with multi-colored wings in shades of bright blue, yellow, and green, and a blue tail. The beak is fashioned from a dark, likely felt or plastic material, while the feet are made of stiffened felt in a light beige or cream tone. A major distinguishing feature is the circular paper 'chest tag' which displays the Steiff bear logo and the name 'Lora.' The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed airbrushed color transitions and firm stuffing. Condition-wise, the plush appears well-preserved with vibrant colors, though there is a Slight softening of the felt feet and minor dust accumulation consistent with display. Based on the tag style and materials, this piece likely dates from the 1960s to the 1980s, representing a classic era of German toy manufacturing known for its durability and collectible value.
