A Pair of Mid-Century Modern Brass and Black Enameled Bird Figurines - A pair of stylized wading bird figurines, likely herons or cranes, rendered in a mid-century modern aesthetic. Each figure is constructed from mixed metal, featuring cast brass bodies and wings with a textured finish to suggest plumage. The long necks, heads, and slender legs are finished in a high-gloss black enamel. One bird is depicted in a standing upright posture with its head raised, while the second bird is posed in a preening or feeding position with a lowered neck and slightly spread wings. Both figures are mounted on circular brass bases decorated with a radiating sunburst pattern. The undersides of the bases show a hollow-cast construction. No maker's marks, signatures, or country-of-origin labels are visible on the exterior or the bases.
