Blue and white porcelain decorative bird cage

This decorative bird cage is crafted in the classic blue and white porcelain style that originated in China during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and was later widely replicated throughout Asia and Europe. The piece features traditional cobalt blue underglaze decoration on a white porcelain background, with a distinctive cage-like structure measuring 7" x 11". Decorative porcelain bird cages became popular in Victorian-era homes as purely ornamental pieces rather than functional cages. These items are highly valued by collectors of blue and white porcelain, interior designers, and enthusiasts of Victorian decorative arts for their delicate craftsmanship and the way they blend Eastern artistic traditions with Western decorative sensibilities.
