I also have one other fixture that came with the house. I was hesitant to post it, b/c to me it looks like it's kind of a 60's 70's style fixture...BUT, I've been wrong before, so we'll see what what you guys think. I am pretty sure it's hand painted. There is a little paint around the top half, but I've found I can rub the paint off with my finger if it does have some value/significance. I did look online at some of the vintage lighting sites, which had a few ceiling lights that were hand painted- only found one with a bird and I believe it was a parrot. Other than that didn't find too much. The bird is painted on 3 sides of the fixture.
