Porcelain birds are not cool, but... - a list by fauna

About this list:

I'm not going to lie to you and say that porcelain birds are hip and trendy. In fact, I have no idea why I have recently developed a possibly unhealthy fascination with them. I am NOT collecting porcelain birds -- I am not. I am not going to be the old lady with hundreds of porcelain figurines around the house collecting dust. And I will not move on from birds to cute little bunnies. Will NOT. But maybe just one pair -- one pair of really cool porcelain birds. Not that porcelain birds are cool...

Qualifications:

Nymphenburg Sketches, bowl with bird

First to recommend

Description

Hella Jongerius chose the Cardinal bird #304, designed by Anna Soennecken-Beckmann (ca. 1910-1914), and covered it with the decoration from Empire coffee pot form #925 (ca. 1830).

PAIR VINTAGE ITALIAN BIRDS

Description

Yet another porcelain bird to feed my new, unhealthy fascination. Sorry for the repetitive recommendations, but really, what is there to say about porcelain birds? And what does this silly fascination say about me? Don't answer that!

Retro, Italian, and out of my price range. Dang - probably the coolest of the bunch.

This recommendation is definitely a symptom of my new, possibly unhealthy fascination with porcelain birds. More to come, I'm afraid.

Very glam, very versatile. Use as a service piece on your table, fill it with a potted plant, or put it on your vanity to hold makeup brushes.

This guy is bright blue, which would be a nice pop of color. Most of my other picks are white.

Ok, honestly, these are the coolest of all the porcelain birds I've had my eye on. I really think I want this set - so don't buy it. Give me a little while to save for it -- or better yet, buy it for me. Doesn't the turquoise color make them cool? Please say yes. Otherwise, I'm just the crazy lady who suddenly fell for porcelain birds.

Oh, this one has some gold on him -- that's different.
