Condition:

This item is presented in good vintage condition, consistent with its age and use. There is some light wear and faint surface scratches, as is expected with a pre-loved vintage piece. There are a few very small, minor chips, predominantly to the delicate edges of some feathers and the outer rim – these are generally not highly noticeable and do not significantly detract from the overall beauty and displayability of the parrot. Please examine the photos carefully as they form part of the condition description. The colours remain bright and the glaze is vibrant.
