You are bidding on a cute flamingo hatching from its egg. It is 4 inches tall,it looks similair to a Windstone,but the label has been removed from the bottom and it has no other markings. The egg has a heavy pottery feel, but cant be sure. The flamingo feels like mache. It is in great condition,free of any cracks,chips paint loss.S&H 5.00 Insurance required.Oh man, I was looking for something like that.. I have been looking for a (ceramic, I think?) sculpture of parrots hatching, but they were hatching out of a gourd or pumpkin. I don’t know what those sculptures are called, what they are made of, or where exactly they are from (Mexico, I know, but what region?) so I am having trouble searching for them. This thing looks like the same style of sculpture.
It has a giant head! That thing will probably give me nightmares…Makes me think of yard flamingos chasing me around in my dreams… 😯 *gulp*
Makes me think of the flamingos they used to play croquet with in “Alice and Wonderland” *shudders*

😆 That was one of my favorite parts of the movie! 😆
Alice in Wonderland was a VERY strange movie all the way around
http://dragcave.ath.cx/user/36064I would not want to bring it into my house
http://dragcave.ath.cx/user/36064Oh, choked on my nachos!! that was funny!! And Miss Melody, I know what your talking about, I used to have a multicolored parrot hatching out of a yellow looking pumpkin, but my ex threw it at my head and it shattered. I got it a South of the Border on my way to florida, we’re going that way in may, and I’ll stop in and look for you.
That is…interesting… 😕

While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
LOL… I’ve seen kitsch like that my whole life… when I saw my first hatchers, they didn’t make me think of these, but now that the seller mentions it, I can see what they’re thinking of, sort of same church but nowhere near the right pew. Have no clue who makes/made them, think they may have been hand cast but???
I’ve seen the hatching parrots before, but not recently and I don’t really remember where (flea market?). If I see any, I’ll keep Ms. Melody in mind!The maker of this piece should have known hatching flamingos don’t look like that. They are grey, have a relatively short neck and a straightened beek. The sculpture is all wrong.
