Nymphenburg Shell Bird Bath

An earthy terra cotta exterior balances with a glowing, pearlescent interior in the graceful whorl of this shell-shaped bird bath. Part of Nymphenburg’s collection of garden statuary, fountains and tiles done in majolica, which refers to clay fired with an opaque white tin glaze. Done by hand, the majolica technique retains the loose brushstrokes of the artist, preserving the unique expression of each piece. Nymphenburg stands as the only porcelain manufactory in Europe still producing majolica in the traditional handcrafted manner. Terra cotta with glazed interior. Weather proof and frost proof. Established in 1747, Nymphenburg has–through its relentless commitment to craftsmanship and its sustained collaboration with the premier designers and artists of every era–solidified its position as one of the world’s finest creators of porcelain, serving generations of royalty and having its porcelain immortalized in museums and design collections. Kneen & Co. is proud to showcase and sell the largest selection of Nymphenburg porcelain in North America.
