🌟HP🌟VTG 1950s Stangl Art Pottery Large Cockatoo Majolica Style Figurine USA

This is a vintage 1950s Stangl Art Pottery Large Cockatoo Figurine! Crafted in the spectacular Majolica Style art pottery, this magnificent bird was designed by Auguste Jacob and made in Trenton, NJ by Stangl Pottery over 70 years ago! Stangl was known for its line of bird figurines which were sold from the 1940s to the 1970s. The figurines were based on illustrations in James Audubon’s “Birds of America” and Alexander Wilson’s “American Ornithology.“ Bisque birds were made in molds, then hand decorated, glazed, and fired. Most birds were marked with the Stangl name, shape number, initials of the decorator, and often the date. This bird truly has a naturalistic appearance, resembling an actual cockatoo, with a large blue-crest with yellow and green accents! It's perched on a rocky mound base, with foliage. It has beautiful coloration and shine. "Jacob" is engraved on the base of the figurine. This magnificent bird is truly beautiful and is an MCM treasure!
