Herend Kaleidoscope Tortoise Figurine - Limited Edition

Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Their well - known 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. Each Herend figurine is painstakingly handmade in Hungary. Imagine the classic tortoise and hare race. While we all know the hare's overconfidence led to his loss, what if the tortoise had a secret weapon? His vividly painted shell, with a kaleidoscope of pretty swirls and bright colors, might have distracted the hare. It's easy to feel sorry for the hare as even the most focused person would be sidetracked. Today, this tortoise figurine is more interested in being a decorative piece than sharing the secrets of that race. This figurine measures 8.75'L X 3'H, is made of porcelain by hand, hand - painted in Hungary, and is part of a numbered limited edition of 100.

This Herend kaleidoscope tortoise figurine is mainly for decoration. You can place it on a mantel, a bookshelf, or a display case 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 exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as this may fade the hand - painted colors. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they could damage the delicate surface. Keep it away from high - traffic areas where it might get knocked over. With proper care, this limited - edition figurine will be a cherished piece in your collection for years to come.
