Pair of Large Vintage Hand Sculpted Ceramic Pelicans Ocean Bird Sculptures
Fresh air, calming waves, and sandy beaches all come to mind when viewing these two Hand Sculpted Ceramic Pelicans! Looking closer, there is an expressive way this artist molded each form that gives them texture, motion, and life. They also have a nostalgic quality reminiscent of antique ship sculptures and weathered wood. If you find solace by the sea, this pair of sculptures will certainly help you achieve that attachment in your own home!
