These vintage Hollywood Regency-style peacock (of pheasant?) figurines are oh-so-glam. Once a tacky faux-gold, they've been upcycled to look like unglazed porcelain with flat white chalk paint. Hailing from the 1960s, you may even have caught sight of these babies in an episode of Mad Men. (Love you forever, Betty!)
Condition: These birdies are in good vintage condition, however, they've been modified from their original state (see note about chalk paint, above). Also, one bird lost a crown feather once upon a time. The area was sanded down before painting and the lost feather would not be noticed if you were not aware of the bird's previous state.
Size: The taller bird is about 32 cm tall and 19.5 cm long. (Imperial: The standing bird is 13" tall x 6" wide. The shorter is 8.25" tall x 11.5" wide.)
Good to know: The Syracuse Ornamental Company (Syroco), Syracuse, New York was best known for molded wood-pulp products that resembled hand-carving.
