About the Item

Almost Brancusi-esque in its sleek economy of form, this very rare porcelain sculpture was created by the Primavera workshop, and depicts a lean, vertical pigeon with a discreet spray of tail features, its beak tucked into its breast. The form is all streamlined form, but some of the details are picked out in bits of silver, black and deep red glazes. Primavera was established by the famous Le Printemps department store in Paris, and employed a number of famous artists including René Buthaud.
