Blue Canaries with Natural Brass Branch, Pair

This sculptural canary captures a moment of quiet focus, perched with gentle weight on a branch cast in natural brass. The ceramic bodies are finished in a rich, hand-painted blue, bringing color and liveliness to the composition. The pose of each bird is alert yet calm, offering a visual balance between energy and stillness. Whether displayed on a wall or resting on a surface, this paired set offers a clear line and sculptural depth.

Each Blue Canary is formed from earthenware and airbrushed by hand in a smooth blue gradient that preserves its surface detail. The branch is cast in solid brass using traditional sand molds and finished in its raw, natural tone. Each element is handmade, resulting in small variations that reflect the slow, skilled process behind each piece.

This piece is crafted in the Oeste region in Portugal, a region renowned for its rich ceramic heritage. The ceramic forms are shaped and painted by hand, while the brass is cast in a sand mold, a method rooted in local craftsmanship.

At JJUIN, we work directly with artisans through hands-on collaboration. Our team helps them refine their craft, choose the highest quality materials, and adapt their designs to meet the expectations of the Western luxury market, all while preserving the heart and heritage of their original work. Every step respects the artisan's creative voice and enhances the quality and precision needed for high-end interiors.

This piece is designed for flexible display and adapts well across a variety of interior settings. It can be mounted to a wall using the included hardware, suspended on shelving with ballast, or placed flat on surfaces such as mantels, bookshelves, or coffee tables. The horizontal branch structure allows it to rest securely on narrow ledges, while the mirrored pose of the birds brings a sense of balance and composure to the arrangement. The contrast between the vivid blue glaze and the black-oxidized brass creates a grounded, graphic silhouette that pairs well with neutral backdrops and matte surfaces.

Notes for Design Professionals: The piece has a long, horizontal shape that works well on narrow surfaces like shelves, mantels, or tabletops. Its bright blue finish reflects light gently, adding color and presence without drawing too much attention. The piece works well with natural materials like wood, stone, and fabric, and fits easily into both clean-lined and more decorative spaces.

Wipe gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Do not use chemical cleaners.
