Each 20th century; the first a claret pitcher modeled as an owl, the cast silver head set with amber colored eyes and hinged for serving, the ruby glass body cut to simulate wings, the silver feet marked "Cartier," "Made in Spain," and "Sterling" (11 1/8 in.) (check to handle); and a pair of oil and vinegar bottles modeled as parrots, the silver collar on each marked "Cartier / Spain / 295/00" (6 1/8 in.) (no apparent condition concerns).

See Christie's sale 7560, lot 14, for a pair of parrot form decanters with the same ruby glass bodies and cast silver heads and feet, with the same hallmarks.
