Edward Marshall Boehm's Hard Paste Porcelain Sculptures

We have a wonderful collection of Boehm Porcelain Bird and Animal Figurines currently listed at Footbridge Cove. Please stop by today. Our SPECIAL SALE ITEM this week is Boehm's Standing Cygnet (see yesterdays blog...this SPECIAL is a price that can't be beat!) We always strive to bring you quality pieces at excellent prices.

 

 

We have been fortunate enough to acquire an extraordinary collection of the highest quality Boehm birds (and a few of his magnificent animals), Lenox Garden Series Birds and other Unsigned Beauties, as well. Though we love them all, we don't have the appropriate aviary, to house these spectacular creatures of nature! Perhaps you have a special home for one of these pieces. We will continue to list pieces regularly so please bookmark our shop and check back regularly.

 

 

These life-like collectibles are highly sought after & we are so pleased to be able to bring so many fine Boehm pieces to you.

Boehm Pieces Currently Listed at FOOTBRIDGE COVE

Tidbit from the Cove: Boehm fine porcelain collectible sculptures are designed and manufactured in limited editions by E. M. Boehm, Inc. The Boehm porcelain company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of true hard paste porcelain, with clients from presidents, prime ministers, kings and queens, to businessmen and Hollywood celebrities. Each Boehm porcelain sculpture is hand-crafted in the Boehm Porcelain studio in Trenton, New Jersey.

 

 

Permanent collections of Boehm porcelain sculptures are featured in 137 museums worldwide, including the White House, the Vatican, the Smithsonian, and Buckingham Palace.

The Boehm Porcelain Studio specializes in meticulously crafted hard-paste porcelain, figurine sculptures. Boehm creates pure porcelain sculptures from top-quality pure white clay and fires the pieces for 24 hours, re-firing between each color application. The colors used on Boehm porcelain figures are extracted as rock from the earth, then pulverized and incorporated in the sculpture to bring life and vibrant color to the figure.

 

 

 

 

 

Edward Marshall Boehm an artist in the truest sense, lived his life studying the thousands of live birds in his personal aviary... and only after much reflection on each species did he draft a drawing and then begin to sculpt the life-like pieces we have come to adore.

Must See Boehm's Pieces at Footbridge Cove

 

Our research shows this Cygnet is also known as Cygnus Olor... both Cygnus and Olor mean "swan", in Ancient Greek and Latin, respectively. The Mute Swan -Bird of Peace (Cygnus Olor) is a common Eurasian member of the duck, goose and swan family. Young birds (baby swans), called "cygnets", are not the bright white of mature adults, and their bill is black, with a red tip....not orange, for the first year. The color of the down may range from pure white to grey to a buff color. All mute swans are white at maturity.

Also interesting to note: the Mute Swan is the national bird of the Kingdom of Denmark.

And....both the Ancient Britons and the Anglo-Saxons believed that a swan's wings throbbed and sang with a human voice when they flew!
