Cockatoo Pitcher

Charming ceramic cockatoo pitcher reflecting the Victorian fascination with exotic motifs, especially during the late 19th century when the British Empire was expanding its influence around the globe. This fascination was reflected in the period's decorative arts, including Minton Majolica pottery, which was popular for its vibrant glazes and exotic subject matter. The cockatoo, a bird from the tropics, was often depicted in such works, and symbolised the Victorian era’s interest in nature and the exotic. The pitcher evokes the whimsical and ornate style of this era.
