A collection of miniature owl figurines in various materials and styles, originating from a series produced in the late 20th century. The assortment features examples in glazed and bisque porcelain, cloisonné enamel, and translucent glass or resin. Notable pieces include a bisque porcelain owl decorated with applied three-dimensional pastel roses, a stylized Imari-style owl with gilded and iron-red accents, and a dark blue cloisonné enamel figure with wirework scrolls and colourful wing markings. The translucent examples include one in a frosted white finish and another in solid green. Several porcelain pieces feature floral transfers, hand-painted details, and gilded highlights. The base of the rose-decorated figurine bears a circular black printed mark reading THE FRANKLIN MINT, alongside a small white oval adhesive label reading CRAFTED IN THAILAND. Other figurines show varying degrees of decorative finish, including textured feathers and patterned glazes.
