Lot description
A finely modeled Royal Worcester bird figurine with base, featuring a Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus mexicanus) from the celebrated American Birds series by Dorothy Doughty. The porcelain sculpture depicts the bird with vibrant orange-red plumage and dark charcoal-grey wings, perched atop a detailed pussy willow branch accented with yellow and grey catkins. Executed in fine bone china with a delicate matte bisque finish, the piece is mounted on a tiered square wooden plinth. The underside is fully marked with the Royal Worcester crown logo, the title "Vermilion Flycatcher Pyrocephalus rubinus mexicanus With Pussy Willow," and the hand-signed script signature of D. Doughty. Additional marks include the copyright date 1963, the "EST. OF 1962" shield, edition number 13, and decorator's initials X.R. This posthumous release is highly sought after for its botanical accuracy and technical complexity. Height: 9 inches. Dimensions5.00"L x 5.00"W x 10.00"H Weight1.00 lb 2.00oz
