About the Item

Small bird sculpture, created by Swiss ceramist Gérald Olivier, circa 1970. This piece, representing a bird, captivates with its sleek and stylized silhouette. The cream and brown glazed ceramic body rests lightly on two legs. The contrast between the softness of the ceramic form and the iron details, legs, beak, and eyes, creates a subtle and harmonious balance. Signed: Olivier Provenance: Gerald Olivier's studio, Switzerland.
