Exceptionally Lovely Antique Carved Bluebird with Tin Wings vase with sun face as I found others it

Exceptionally Lovely Antique Carved Bluebird with Tin Wings vase with sun face as I found others itThis bird gets me on every level, and just look at that view of it from the underside, looking rather like a slug with wings! I purchased it from the same dealer as the toy gun I just listed, and have a bit of a feeling that the two were made by the same person, including for the fact that the blue paint looks like it could be the same. Here it appears the blue was painted over an earlier coat of red, I would guess one quickly on the top of the other,
