Boehm Porcelain American Robin Figurine

This is a hand-painted bisque porcelain figurine depicting an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) perched atop a naturalistic base of green leaves and small purple flowers, likely violets. The bird is rendered with realistic anatomical proportions, featuring a charcoal-grey head and back, a classic reddish-orange breast, and a white throat with dark streaking. The feathers on the wings and tail exhibit detailed incised textures to mimic individual barbs. The figurine stands on a cylindrical white pedestal base with a stepped bottom edge. Physical condition appears good with no immediate signs of large chips or cracks, though close inspection of the delicate flower petals is recommended as these areas are prone to breakage. The matte finish is characteristic of Edward Marshall Boehm’s studio, which gained international fame in the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1980s) for high-quality avian studies. The craftsmanship is evident in the subtle color gradations and the intricate botanical elements at the bird's feet, reflecting the studio's commitment to ornithological accuracy and decorative elegance.
