Elegant Bamboo Birdcage with Celadon Dishes

This petite bamboo birdcage was once home to the tiny pet bird of a Qing-dynasty aristocrat. Dated to the turn of the century, the birdcage is carefully assembled of thin bamboo rods set into an elongated frame with an adjustable opening at one end. The hanging cage includes two porcelain food dishes, each with a delicate flared shape and a celadon-green interior glaze.
