This 1895 stamp from the Amoy Treaty Port series features a green heron, a symbol of vigilance and serenity in traditional East Asian iconography. Issued on June 8, 1895, it reflects the artistic and technical standards of foreign-administered postal services during the late Qing Dynasty. Printed in green by Carl Schleicher & Schüll using lithography, the stamp is perforated 11½ and was released as a daily-use issue within the local Amoy (Xiamen) postal system. Its naturalistic bird motif stands out as a rare thematic deviation from the dragons and imperial symbolism common in national issues of the time. Cataloged as Michel CN-AMO 1, Scott AM 1, and Stanley Gibbons CN-AMO 1, this stamp represents both a regional rarity and an early example of localized postal administration under semi-colonial conditions. Condition Fine used, with light, legible cancellation and intact perforations. Estimate "$75 – 90"
