Boehm Figurine "Northern Oriole with Dogwood", #40453, porcelain, #91 of a limited special edition for the National Audubon Society in 1994, autographed by Helen F. Boehm, 13 1/2" tall.....Founded as E.M. Boehm Studios by Edward Marshall Boehm (1913–1969) in 1950, the company is best known for its porcelain sculptures and figures of birds, flora and wildlife celebrated for their lifelike appearance and deft coloration done by hand. Among the most beloved and well collected of all its works are its birds, which represent a whole range of avian species from massive birds of prey to delicate little hummingbirds.In his lifetime, the Boehm was known for sculptures of birds that were very naturalistic in their rendering and posing. In a widely-published quote, Boehm stated that the permanence of porcelain was well suited to his sculpture. “It is a medium in which one can portray the everlasting beauty of form and color of wildlife and nature,” he said.
