Boehm Flower Sculpture, Ruby Throated Hummingbird with Lily 40542:
A Boehm bone china sculpture titled Ruby Throated Hummingbird with Lily, model number 40542. This vibrant figural composition features a hummingbird delicately feeding from a blooming stargazer lily.

The hummingbird, rendered mid-flight with wings extended, is beautifully shaded in naturalistic tones of white, green, and iridescent ruby red. The piece is signed to the underside with the Boehm mark, inscribed: “Ruby Throated Hummingbird with Lily – Boehm USA.” A finely crafted and graceful representation of Boehm’s celebrated naturalistic porcelain artistry.
