RARE Limited Edition Boehm Magnificent Hummingbird With Jasmine Sculpture 40349

Description

RARE LIMITED EDITION BOEHM MAGNIFICENT HUMMINGBIRD
WITH JASMINE #40349 PORCELAIN SCULPTURE
Available for purchase is a VERY RARE porcelain sculpture made by the artisans at Boehm Studios.  This limited edition masterpiece is titled "Magnificent Hummingbird With Jasmine" (#40349).  I'm not sure when it was produced or how many were made in the limited edition run.  The sculpture depicts a male Magnificent Hummingbird (
Eugenes fulgens
), with its spectacular iridescent plumage, extracting nectar from a yellow jasmine flower.  The piece is incredibly detailed and typical of the impressive porcelain birds executed by talented Boehm artists.
This sculpture stands about 8 1/2" tall and measures approximately 7 1/4" long.
The back side of the base has the Boehm signature and the underside is marked with the horse head and feather limited edition logo and is individually numbered "309".  I purchased this sculpture at a recent estate sale.
If you're not already familiar with Boehm Porcelain, it's an artisan studio that was founded by sculptor Edward and wife Helen Boehm in 1950.  Today, it's recognized as one of the world’s foremost porcelain studios.  Boehm fine porcelain sculptures and limited edition collectibles are created by highly skilled artisans in the same Trenton, New Jersey studio in which the company was founded.  Art from the Boehm studio has been presented to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and every U.S. President since Dwight Eisenhower.  Boehm Porcelain is currently showcased globally in the homes of discerning collectors and celebrities, as well as the world’s foremost museums and galleries.  Boehm porcelain is the only American art form to have two dedicated rooms in the Vatican Museum in Rome.
Condition of this Boehm "Magnificent Hummingbird With Jasmine" sculpture is EXCELLENT with no chips, cracks, or fleabites.  It looks fantastic and displays beautifully.  It would make a fine addition to any Boehm collection.  Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself.  I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase!
If you collect Boehm porcelain sculptures, particularly birds, don't miss your opportunity to purchase this offering.  My Buy It Now price of only 9 is a bargain for this limited edition piece.  I've only been able to find photos of just a few other examples.  The latest one on eBay sold for 5.  So buy this sculpture now before someone else beats you to the deal!

Payment is due immediately after purchase.  E-bay policy limits sellers to only accepting electronic methods of payment (i.e. PayPal).  If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let me know.  Virginia residents will need to add 5.3% state sales tax to the final purchase price.  E-bay has also started charging sales tax in many other states recently, something beyond my control.
If you're the lucky buyer of this Boehm "Magnificent Hummingbird With Jasmine" sculpture, it will come to you VERY carefully packaged via Parcel Select or Priority Mail (your choice).  Shipping will be actual charges from zip code 22980 (packaged weight between 3 and 4 pounds).  Use the eBay shipping calculator to determine exact mailing cost to your location.  BECAUSE THIS PIECE IS SO FRAGILE, I AM LIMITING SALES TO U.S. BUYERS ONLY.  NO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE.
E-bay no longer allows sellers to offer buyers the option of purchasing shipping insurance.  I will insure this item at my own expense.
