    Hello I received this as a gift from family. The only information I have is this note....

    "Bluebird decoration - said to be quite rare - wedding gift to ____ _____ _____ - 1862 Bronze in lead.

    I was hoping someone could give me some info on this piece.

    Thank you

    I’m guessing it is really plated spelter. Lead isn’t normally used for casting sculpture.
