Oliver Sargent Antiques has dated these Chinese Green Glazed Parrots to the 19th Century.
Both parrots are finished in a wonderfully rich, lustrous green glaze, displaying the subtle iridescence and depth of colour that make these Chinese decorative porcelain figures so appealing to collectors of Asian antiques and Oriental ceramics.
In traditional Chinese culture, the parrot was regarded as the ‘Divine Bird’, symbolising good fortune, happiness and the arrival of welcome news. Live parrots were traditionally kept within the private living quarters of women, where they were believed to be trusted keepers of secrets and confidants. These charming figures therefore carry an additional layer of cultural significance beyond their decorative appeal.
The pair would make an elegant addition to a collection of antique Chinese porcelain, Qing Dynasty ceramics or Oriental decorative arts. Equally attractive displayed together on a mantelpiece, cabinet or within a carefully curated interior.
Condition
Both figures are in excellent, completely undamaged and unrestored condition, with no cracks, chips or repairs.
