This vintage ceramic parrot comes from the “Chopsticks” collection by Andrea by Sadek—an American brand known for translating classic Asian forms into decorative mid-century ceramics for the export market. Glazed in a cool celadon, this piece captures the stillness of a bird in thought, sculpted with just enough detail to hold light and shadow.
Pieces like this were designed not to mimic fine Chinese porcelain, but to bring a softer, more accessible interpretation of that tradition into everyday interiors—offering a bridge between East and West, old and new. The result is a decorative object that feels equally at home in a Malibu beach house, a SoCal bungalow, or a modern space layered with organic textures and clean lines.
Excellent condition with light patina to the unglazed base, as expected from a piece with a few decades behind it. Though originally produced as exportware, this line has become quietly collectible over time—particularly when the glaze, sculptural balance, and condition all line up just right.
Style it alongside driftwood, woven baskets, or a tangle of air plants. It plays well with both natural elements and a bit of California quirk.
