Add a dramatic statement piece to your collection with this captivating Peggy Davis ceramics figure of a bird entitled The Listener, part of the Phoenix series. Modelled by Robert Tabbenor, who brings a distinguished modelling experience from Royal Doulton, this sculpture echoes the eccentric, whimsical aesthetic of historic Martinware pottery.

The bird itself possesses a fascinating grotesque form characterized by an eccentric, inquisitive posture with one large ear-like wing flared out as if eavesdropping intently on its surroundings. Its expression is full of cunning personality, featuring sharp carved details, textured feathering, and powerful talons gripping the base. The piece is finished in a stunning, vibrant ruby fusion colorway, showcasing deep, glossy flambé tones that dramatically catch the light and accentuate every contour of the sculpt.

Handmade and hand-decorated in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, this is a rare limited edition of just 100 pieces worldwide. Measuring just over 23cm tall, the figure is in great condition, though it is offered with no box or certificate.
