This Herend ballerina bear figurine is mainly for display purposes. You can place it on a mantel, a bookshelf, or any flat surface in your home to add a touch of elegance. When handling it, make sure your hands are clean and dry to avoid leaving fingerprints or causing damage. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can scratch the delicate hand - painted surface. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the colors over time. Also, be careful not to knock it over, as it is made of porcelain and can break easily.
