Whimsical Vintage Mexican Ceramic Sculpture of Parakeets Hatching from Egg, in the Style of Sergio Bustamante, Circa 1980s A large, fantastical ceramic sculpture depicting a group of vividly colored parakeets emerging from a cracked egg. This imaginative and surreal piece draws strong stylistic inspiration from the work of celebrated Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante, known for his whimsical and surreal interpretations of nature and mythology in ceramic, papier-mâché, bronze, and wood. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted in Mexico in the 1980s, the sculpture captures a moment of animated emergence, with lifelike parakeets rendered in rich, saturated hues and finely detailed textures. The surface features carefully painted cracks and openings that heighten the illusion of the birds hatching from within the egg. This clay-based ceramic piece is bursting with character and movement, making it a striking example of Mexican folk-inspired surrealism. Unsigned by the artist, yet clearly created by a skilled hand, this one-of-a-kind piece would make a bold addition to any collection of Mexican folk art, ceramic sculpture, or Bustamante-style works. Dimensions: Height: 10 in (25.4 cm) Diameter: 9 in (22.86 cm) Condition: Good vintage condition, with typical patina and surface wear consistent with age. No visible chips or repairs. A true conversation piece that captures the spirit of surrealist folk art.

Landshut artist Peter Landesberger cachepot plus a matching vase 1960s measurements: cachepot: height : 18cms ~ Ø 22cms ~ weight: 1422 grs vase : height: 22cms ~ Ø 14cms ~ weight: 842 grs Brush mark LP Landshut, a town in Bavaria, Germany, is known for its ceramics school and its historical significance. The construction of Landshut began in 1204 under the rule of Duke Ludwig of Bavaria. It was a typical Wittelsbach founding town and marked a new form of territorial politics for the Bavarian dukes. From 1231, Landshut became the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty and the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria until 1255. Due to the division of Bavarian lands, Landshut alternated between being a capital and a residential town. The town thrived thanks to its location on the Isar River and its strategic positioning along trade routes. By the 14th century, Landshut had developed its Gothic town center, which remained largely unchanged until the 19th century. During the period from 1392 to 1503, Landshut experienced a prosperous and politically important era under the rule of the three "rich" Dukes Heinrich, Ludwig, and Georg. Landshut also gained prestige through the magnificent wedding of Duke George the Rich to the daughter of the Polish king...

This beautifully handcrafted wall piece pays tribute to the splendor of Andalusian architecture, echoing the intricate arches and decorative flourishes of the Alhambra in Granada. Made in early 20th-century Spain, it captures the spirit of Islamic Revival style with striking detail and artisan precision. At its center are three classic horseshoe arches, richly adorned with arabesques and supported by slender columns topped with finely worked capitals. A palette of soft reds, blues, and golds brings depth and warmth, further elevated by a rich burgundy velvet background. Surrounding the scene is a remarkable inlaid wooden frame, featuring delicate geometric patterns and flowing Arabic calligraphy — hallmarks of Neo-Mudejar design. This is not only a decorative object but a conversation piece, a rare combination of cultural history, architectural beauty, and fine craftsmanship. There are signs of restorations and some chipping to the plasterwork, mostly along the edges, but nothing that takes away from the overall beauty or structural integrity of the piece. Whether you're a lover of Islamic art, architectural miniatures, or simply looking for something rich in history and charm to add to your space, this piece brings timeless character and a story with it. A rare find with true soul. The large frame may have some minor losses and but this antique art work...
