A Bluejay perched on a log, playing one of the most unexpectedly melancholy songs ever written — and it still plays beautifully.
This bisque porcelain musical figurine features a detailed Bluejay — tail feathers intact, every petal on the surrounding flowers perfect — mounted on a glazed porcelain music box base that winds and plays "Send in the Clowns" from Stephen Sondheim's 1973 musical A Little Night Music. (Someone once wrote "Bring in the Clowns" on the bottom, which is incorrect — just one of those charming small mysteries that comes with a well-traveled vintage piece.) Unmarked except for a "Made in Taiwan" foil label. A very minor rough spot on the beak appears to be a factory defect — barely visible and photographed closely for you.
A wonderful gift for the bird lover, the Bluejay enthusiast, the Sondheim fan, or anyone who appreciates a musical figurine with genuine character and a great song.
