This Chinese Qing dynasty figurine depicts a parrot perched upon a pierced rockwork base. Dating from the nineteenth century, the piece is made from porcelain with a lead glaze finish. The parrot displays a deep green glaze with indications of underglaze black and blue, alongside a moulded feather plumage, a hooked beak, and detailed eye carving. The base incorporates pierced openings throughout the textured rockwork decoration. Standing 19 cm tall, the figurine possesses a substantial weight and exhibits no restoration. Placed on a mantelpiece in a home today, the figurine serves as an ornamental object that draws on Chinese export styles. The bold green colourway and maximalist wonderland design vibe suit interior displays focused on decorative porcelain and traditional figural subjects. The detailed glaze variations and perforated base catch ambient light in a reception room or study setting.

FAQs

Famille Verte is a style of Chinese export porcelain characterized by lead-based overglaze enamels dominated by green tones, developed primarily during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

These figures were typically hand-moulded or slip-cast using kaolin clay, fitted onto a hand-perforated rockwork base, and coated in coloured lead glazes before high-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces feature unglazed foot rims showing smooth white porcelain paste, subtle wear patterns on raised surfaces, hand-tooling marks along feature lines, and characteristic firing vents.

Place the figurine on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a bookshelf alongside natural wood, stone, or brass elements to create visual texture and balance against neutral backdrops.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry brush. Avoid submerging the object in water or using abrasive liquid cleaners, as moisture can seep into micro-crazing in the glaze or interior firing cavities.
