Topic: My first Chinese white

[Lustrousstone]

Rather pretty with nice chrysanths, but dodgy bird, and cheep    I can't work out which way up he should go

Sticks and branches towards the bottom, flowers towards the top.
I don't know which way up or down the bird goes.

Would this have some age to it? I've certainly not seen a Chinese White before.

Looks like a robin to me, upside down but when you turn it round the foliage looks a bit odd

I've only just "got" the upside-down robin - I thought it was a crow. I can see a sort of birdy face in one of the robin's wings - with an air bubble for an eye. I suspect the air bubble redirected my vague thoughts in the wrong direction.
Foliage can look odd, quite naturally.
I think it's a better robin than it is a crow, so you might just have to tolerate odd foliage. Or maybe just on odd days? You would then just have to tolerate an odd bird on the other days.

Leni and Suzy said I should turn him round, so here he is. 1920-30s-40s

That is better.
Birds do go poking around the bottoms of bushes, if you get down to their level to watch them, the foliage can easily look like that.
