A piece from Meissen’s iconic Bird Series, a hallmark animal figurine line produced by Meissen from the late 19th to 20th century. The Great Tit perches atop a white tree-stump base adorned with berries and fresh leaves. Fully hand-painted in overglaze enamel, the figurine features lifelike layered detailing of the bird’s plumage, embodying the realistic style typical of German hard-paste porcelain sculptures.
