A pair of parrots in China symbolizes affection, fidelity, and deep, enduring love. The parrot is also a powerful symbol of opportunity and the bearer of good news, drawing in positive energy while keeping away the negative.
This is a charming pair of Chinese export famille vert hand-painted ceramic parrots. These are likely from the late 19th century or early 20th century.
These parrots are perched on a perforated splashed rock decorated in translucent enamels from the famille verte (wucai) palette.
One of the birds is repaired and the stands/pedestals seem to be a later addition. These birds would make a fantastic addition to bookcases, wall shelves, or curio cabinets.
