Herend Black-Backed Kingfishers Figurine - Limited Edition

Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Its famous fishnet pattern, a big hit in the US, dates back to 1858. An artist, inspired by the fish scale design on a Chinese plate, painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Every Herend figurine is carefully handmade in Hungary. The black - backed kingfisher, also called the oriental dwarf kingfisher, is a timid bird that typically inhabits areas near small streams in densely shaded forests. It's the tiniest of kingfishers, only a bit larger than a medium - sized hummingbird. But in the hands of Herend's artists, this little bird makes a huge impression. Its vivid colors, no longer hidden in the shadows, are magnificently displayed in the unique Herend style, and the sight is truly stunning. This figurine measures 7 inches wide and 6 inches high. It's handmade from porcelain and hand - painted in Hungary. It's part of a numbered limited edition of only 150 pieces.

This Herend black - backed kingfisher figurine is a beautiful decorative item. You can place it on a mantel, bookshelf, or display cabinet to add a touch of elegance to your space. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. Avoid placing it in high - traffic areas where it might get knocked over. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust it. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity to maintain its quality over time.
