Set of 2 Aynsley Wild Bird Series Figurines, Green Finch and Yellow Wagtail, England

Two porcelain bird figurines from the Wild Bird Series by English maker Aynsley, crafted in fine porcelain with subtle hand-painted decoration. The set comprises a Green Finch and a Yellow Wagtail, each on a decorative base with leaves and flowers. Both figurines are in neat vintage condition without cracks or restoration, marked on the underside: Fine Porcelain, Aynsley, Made in England.

Founded in 1775 in Stoke-on-Trent, Aynsley became one of the most respected names in English fine porcelain. The Wild Bird Series reflects the British tradition of naturalistic bird representation, which held a consistent place in both the fine and decorative arts throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The soft colour gradients and refined feather details in these figurines are characteristic of the quality standard Aynsley applied to its collector's pieces. A quiet, precise pair, made for those who recognise the difference even in small formats.
