This is an Art Deco–style porcelain dove figurine from around 1960, in near mint condition. The glossy white glaze and hand-painted gold trim give it that elegant, mid-century look, with two stylized doves sweeping upward from a fluid base. It’s compact but eye-catching at 4.5 inches tall (11.25 cm), 6 inches wide (15 cm), and 3.5 inches long (8.75 cm), easy to fit on a shelf or mantel. The gold accents appear crisp, and the modeling is smooth and well-finished, which is what collectors like to see. At roughly 66 years old, it’s solidly vintage, and finding one this clean—without chips, cracks, or heavy wear to the gilding—doesn’t happen every day.
About the line and make: pieces like this were popular in the late 1950s and 1960s when Art Deco shapes made a comeback alongside mid-century modern decor. European houses like Rosenthal and Hollohaza, and Japanese export brands sold through department stores, made similar white-and-gold bird sculptures. Many were factory-marked on the underside with stamped logos, foil stickers, or impressed numbers, so check there for clues. The gold is typically real luster gilding; dust gently and avoid abrasive cleaners. Doves symbolizing peace and love were a go-to wedding or anniversary gift, so they turn up, but examples with intact gold and sharp detailing are getting rarer and more desirable.
