Herend Common Loon 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 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. Each Herend figurine is carefully handmade in Hungary. The Common Loon is a remarkable water bird. With its sharp dagger - like bill, red eyes, and a black - and - white 'tuxedo' look, it's anything but common in nature. Now, Herend artists have brought it to life in porcelain. These loons are strong and agile swimmers. Their powerful presence is perfectly captured by a bold pattern with large, energetic strokes and striking platinum and black scales. They're also well - known for their hauntingly beautiful calls, with males having their own unique yodel. This porcelain figurine is sure to stand out. It measures 10.5'L X 4.75'H, is handmade of porcelain, hand - painted in Hungary, and part of a numbered limited edition of 150.

This Herend Common Loon porcelain figurine is a decorative piece, perfect for display on a mantel, bookshelf, or any flat surface in your home.
