"Bontems 'jardinèire' With Singing Bird"

Very rare Bontems 'gardener' songbird. Made in Paris in the 4th quarter of the 19th century. When you activate the lever hidden on the back, the living bird sings its melody by turning its head and moving its thail. It looks like the bird is resting on the flowers. The mechanism is hidden in the porcelain base. Models of this type were not produced in large numbers and are always unique. The pot is very colorful and very rare! There haven't been many copies until today.
