                Ceramic Baby Gull Sculpture                The Gentle Sandpiper, a stoneware bird sculpture in earthen beach tones by Andersen Studio of The United States                The stoneware fledgling robin sculpture is small but impressive with the fearless spirit of the bird species. The naturalistic ceramic sculpture was inspired by wounded fledgling robin that the Andersens found and nursed back to health. The fledgling robin stands proud and bold as though it believes itself to be invincible. The ebony glazed eyes seem to be attentively aware of every detail of the surrounding environment. The rounded and sloping form of the ceramic bird is perfectly finished with the Andersens brown ceramic decorating slip, brushed with a feathery pattern and then dipped in a soft white matte glaze that randomly picks up the variations in the underlying surface. The ceramic fledgling robin is 4 inches tall.
