Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's top - notch hand - painted porcelain. Their well - loved fishnet pattern, a hit in the US, dates back to 1858. An artist, inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design, painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Each Herend figurine is carefully handmade in Hungary. The American Kestrel, North America's smallest falcon, has large talons that are crucial for its excellent hunting skills. You'll often spot it perched on poles or wires, waiting for prey. This figurine measures 4'L x 3.25'W x 7.5'H, is made of porcelain by hand, hand - painted in Hungary, is part of the 2023 Reserve Collection, and is a numbered limited edition of 150 pieces.
This Herend American Kestrel figurine is mainly for display. You can place it on a shelf, a mantel, or a table to add a touch of elegance to your space. When handling the figurine, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard surfaces. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and high humidity to preserve its quality.
