Herend Blossoming Tortoise Figurine - Limited Edition

Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's best hand - painted porcelain. Its well - known fishnet pattern, very popular in the U.S., dates back to 1858 when an artist was inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design and painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Every Herend figurine is carefully handmade in Hungary. Tortoises usually use the colors, ridges, and patterns on their shells to blend in and stay hidden. But this new addition to the Reserve Collection seems to have a different idea. Maybe it spends its days playing in meadows full of flowers and wild berries, or perhaps it's just decided to ditch its camouflage. With such beautiful applied and painted details, it's no wonder it wants to show off! Details: - Dimensions: 8.75 inches long and 4 inches high. - Crafted from porcelain by hand. - Hand - painted in Hungary. - Part of a numbered limited edition of 225 pieces.

This Herend porcelain tortoise figurine is mainly for display. You can place it on a mantel, a bookshelf, or any flat surface where it can catch the eye. It's a delicate piece, so handle it with care to avoid any chips or cracks. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods as this might cause the colors to fade over time. If you're moving it, wrap it in soft padding like bubble wrap to protect it. Enjoy this beautiful limited - edition figurine for years to come!
