Zaunkonig Deko-object Bird

The Zaunkonig Deko-object Bird is a bone china decorative bird from Klatt Objects — a small wren modelled in the round, with its beak lifted and tail cocked upward in that unmistakable wren posture. Balanced on the lip of a vase, cup or jug, it looks as though it has just landed for a moment.

The fine bone china is left soft and matte, so the surface reads more like chalk or plaster than shiny porcelain. Light settles gently into the modelling: the crisp scallops of the wing feathers, the stippled breast, the barred tail, the tiny closed eye. Pure white throughout, the porcelain bird ornament takes on the tone of whatever surrounds it — warm against linen and pale wood, cooler against grey stone or a slate-blue wall.

Use it as a quiet finishing touch on a bedroom shelf, a bathroom vanity, a windowsill above the kitchen sink, or perched on a bud vase at the centre of a spring table. It suits Scandinavian, wabi-sabi and country-cottage interiors alike, and makes a considered Easter gift.
