Visitors encounter the most varied parrot figures as they walk around the grounds of the botanical gardens in Munich. Josef Wackerle produced them in majolica for the Manufaktur Nymphenburg in 1909. His pupil Luise Terletzki-Scherf concerned herself with the subject of exotic birds some twenty years later. This cockatoo that is 18 centimetres in height is considered to be one of her most magnificent and beautiful designs. The black contours of the bird and the accentuated orange of its plumage, which is otherwise so sparsely coloured, bears testimony to the great artistic craftsmanship and a design that is contemporary to this day.
