Unlike a simple figurine, this piece is interactive and functional. Fill the bird with a small amount of water and blow gently through the tail opening — the whistle produces a sweet, trilling sound that closely mimics birdsong. These playful whistles were once popular as souvenirs and children’s toys, making them delightful pieces of mid-20th century ceramic folk art.
Compact and eye-catching, it makes a wonderful display piece or a fun conversation starter, whether showcased on a shelf, curio cabinet, or given as a thoughtful gift.
