Vintage Parakeet Bird Bath or Feeder
Two adorable parakeets, perched on a log archway over a shallow bowl, seem to be chatting. Or perhaps these tropical birds are snuggled together to whisper sweet songs to each other---maybe they’re in love!
♥ Sweet matching pair of vintage ceramic pottery bird figurines
♥ Very retro look; circa late 1940s – early 1950s
♥ Colors are soft & nostalgic; golden yellow, tones of green, brown, black, white & turquoise
♥ Marked on the bottom: Made in Portugal
♥ Each classic, charming bird measures approx. 7 ½” tall
♥ The whole piece is heavy and about 8 ¾” tall x 8 ½” wide x 7 ½” deep
♥ It looks to be hand painted and has a soft, satin glaze
♥ The bowl can serve as a bird feeder or a garden tabletop bird bath
♥ It also can be a space for a small plant—perfect to display an air plant
♥ Use it to organize jewelry, keys, mail, or other items
♥ Line the bowl with a small saucer and use it to serve nibbles or candies
♥ Will be a thoughtful gift for one who collects bird figurines (popular with collectors)
♥ Very cute for a nursery or child's room
♥ Will make a charming centerpiece for a rustic or seaside wedding
♥ It is a whimsical, three-dimensional conversation starter—an artful sculpture
♥ This colorful accessory will be very desirable in any décor, especially beach or lakeside cottage
♥ It is delightfully chippy; variations are part of the charm of this desirable piece
♥ There is expected wear due to age and use: considerable paint flecks on the entire item and scratch marks on the bowl of the base (maybe where an ashtray rested?)
♥ I can find only one small chip on the bottom and it looks like there may have been a repair on the base of one of the bird’s tail (which just looks like a scratch in the paint)
♥ None of these flaws detract from the loveliness of this item
You will adore the coloring and fun of this one-of-a-kind treasure! Get the feeling of the Caribbean by perching this pair in a special place in your home or beach house!

>>“Marked as gift” does NOT include gift wrapping or message. That notice is a DEFAULT Etsy corporation message to tell the seller NOT to include a packing slip that displays prices.
NOTE: Shipping costs are for the continental United States (Virginia to Mid-West). Because the automatic Etsy Corporation shipping algorithm is NOT accurate, some additional shipping charge may be necessary for items to be shipped close to the West Coast...we may contact you about this adjustment before shipping. Unfortunately, the USPS has recently increased rates and, now, Etsy Corp. is charging sellers 5% on all shipping prices, which makes it difficult for Etsy sellers to be competitive!
Therefore, please contact us BEFORE checking out if you are a buyer near a West Coast state, as we may need to adjust the shipping cost.
**Also, please contact us BEFORE checkout to request any changes to this listing (combined orders, multiple orders, faster shipping, etc.).
We generally use recyclable materials for packaging/shipping so that your item arrives in perfect condition while maintaining our environment. Your item may come packed in an array of materials--secure delivery is our goal!! Most items will ship within 3 - 5 business days, from payment receipt.
