Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Their famous fishnet pattern, extremely popular in the U.S., 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. Every Herend whale figurine is painstakingly handmade in Hungary. It measures 4.75 inches in length and 2.25 inches in height, is made from porcelain, and is hand - painted in Hungary.

This Herend whale figurine is mainly for decoration. You can place it on your mantel, bookshelf, or coffee table to add a touch of elegance to your space. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Store it in a stable place away from high - traffic areas to prevent accidental knocks.
