Offered here is a handsome pair of bird figures, guinea hens to be exact, made and hand painted in Italy. The Italian birds of this type are the best in my opinion. The painting is very detailed and very obviously done entirely by hand. Each of these is a little bit different, maybe they are male and female...I don't know my guinea hens. Interestingly, these were made for someone specific. The marks on the bottom (pictured) says that they were made exclusively for the Walter Hatches. These... Click for details

I love these vintage Italian bird figures and I buy them whenever I can find them. This one appears to be a Snipe, or some similar sporting bird. It is hand painted on what looks like terra cotta, in slightly naive fashion. It has good strong colors and is in excellent condition. The bird stands almost 9.5" in height. These date to around 1960-1980 if I'm not mistaken.

The handle has a red painted leaf design, the spout is trimmed in red. One of the ewers has been professionally repaired. You cannot tell at all that has been repaired, except that it is the clean one. The other ewer is in excellent condition. I was told that these were 19th century. I will say they... Click for details
