A Large Pair of Early 20th Century Famille Rose Porcelain Cockerels

A pair of early 20th century famille rose Chinese Export porcelain cockerels, naturalistically modelled, with polychrome glazes in the traditional manner.

This pair of porcelain cockerels is of unusually large scale and exceptional quality. These ceramic bird figures have been popular since the eighteenth century for European chinoiserie themed interiors. Placed upon a pair of wall brackets, or set as pendants on a chimney piece, they provide humour and animation to any interior setting.
