Add a classic piece of mid-century German porcelain design to your collection with this vintage Rosenthal Pied Wagtail (Bachstelze) figurine. This elegant bird features striking monochromatic tones and a dramatic, upward-sweeping long tail that beautifully showcases Rosenthal's fine glazing and fluid styling.
Produced in Germany, the base bears the authentic green underglaze Rosenthal factory hallmark including the 'handgemalt' stamp, alongside the incised model name 'BACHSTELZE' and model number '575'. Standing at approximately 16.5cm in height, it remains a striking and affordable cabinet piece for collectors of vintage porcelain or specialized bird figurines.
Condition Note (Sold AS-IS):
Please note that the bird's beak has been previously broken and re-glued by a prior owner. Additionally, there is a small chip at the very tip of the beak exposing the white porcelain underneath. Both flaws are documented in the macro close-up photographs. The rest of the figurine, including the highly fragile long tail and base, is in good condition with no other chips or cracks. Priced accordingly. Please inspect all photographs carefully as they form an integral part of the description.
