This 19th-century Victorian decorative object is a glazed earthenware parrot modelled during the period circa 1870-1880. The sculptural piece features a green glazed body with red wing accents and detailed feather moulding, perched upright on a turned wooden bar that spans a hanging circular iron hoop. The bird holds onto the wooden perch with its feet above a long tail, and the entire assembly hangs from a small metal loop at the top. The bird measures 57 cm, and the total height from the top of the hoop to the tip of the tail measures 80 cm. In a contemporary home, this decorative piece suits placement in a sunlit conservatory or a bay window where it can hang freely as a novelty talking point.

FAQs

Originating in the 19th century in the Staffordshire potteries region of England, these hanging bird figures were created as decorative ornaments designed to emulate exotic birds popular in Victorian homes.

These ornaments were typically crafted from press-moulded earthenware, finished with lead glazes or enamel pigments, and suspended on iron or brass hoops with turned wooden perches.

Authentic pieces often display characteristic glaze crazing, seam lines from two-part moulds, unglazed foot rims or hollow interiors, and hand-applied glaze variations typical of Victorian manufacture.

Suspend the figure in a bay window, conservatory, or alcove where natural sunlight highlights the glaze texture, complementing biophilic or eclectic interior schemes.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding immersion in water to protect porous earthenware, organic wood perches, and metal hoops from oxidisation.
