2 Vintage Papier Paper Mache Spun Cotton White Mica Birds 50s Retro Christmas Holiday Decor$14.00
This is a pair of 2 white birds made of spun cotton, papier mache and mica. They have red beaks. They are about 3 ½” long from tail to beak.
Neither have their hanger anymore and both have missing mica on their bellies.
One has some cracks in the mica on top between its wings. It’s missing some mica, particularly on its head and the tip of one wing is a little bent.
The other one has a bent nose and a broken wing (maybe like ½” is missing). It’s missing spots of mica throughout. The area on its belly where the mica is missing also has a small hole in it.
Despite their issues, this is still a charming pair of vintage mica birds.
They were likely made in the 1950s in Japan.
