Spechtmeise, Böttgersteinzeug

The little bird has real heft in the hand, and the earthy brown of the Böttger stoneware feels almost velvety to touch. I love how the matte surface catches the light just slightly, making the carved feathers look soft. It’s a tiny piece of art that fits perfectly on my desk.

The matte finish on this Spechtmeise figure is exactly what I hoped for—it catches the light just enough without being shiny. You can really feel the quality of the Böttgersteinzeug in the weight and smooth surface.

This little bird has such a satisfying weight in hand—the Böttger stoneware feels dense and perfectly balanced. The matte glaze catches the light just enough to bring out the subtle contours of the feathers.
