Description :

Elevate your collection with this rare pair of master-signed Portuguese porcelain birds, an exclusive 1960s commission for the prestigious Hall House of New York. These strikingly vibrant figurines, featuring bold pink and magenta plumage, were handcrafted in Portugal as part of the "Metro" collection—a high-end line of decorative arts once reserved for elite Manhattan showrooms and luxury galleries.

Each bird is hand-signed and dated December 25, 1963, by the artists Pavia and Mortimer, providing documented provenance that is exceptionally rare for imported European porcelain of this era. Perched on architecturally inspired hexagonal bases, these pieces exemplify the mid-century modern "Continental" style, blending traditional craftsmanship with the bold, saturated colors favored by 1960s interior designers. These aren't just decorative accents; they are a signed piece of mid-century retail history from one of New York’s legendary import houses.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with high-gloss glaze. The delicate beaks and tails are perfectly preserved. No chips, cracks, or restorations. The original Hall House foil labels and hand-signed artist marks remain clear and legible on the underside.
