Herend Landing Hawk Figurine - Limited Edition

Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Its famous fishnet pattern, a hit in the U.S., dates back to 1858 when an artist painted a fish - scale design from a Chinese plate on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Every Herend figurine is lovingly handmade in Hungary. The Herend artists have once again excelled. From the detailed sculpture to the expert painting, this figurine perfectly captures the spirit of a hawk. This powerful predator can reach speeds up to 150 mph. The figurine elegantly shows the hawk's balance of power and grace as it lands smoothly. The hawk hunts at dawn or dusk, and its golden and reddish feathers match the colors of the setting sun. The deep, dark eyes add to the allure, showing intelligence and noticing every little movement. This figurine measures 15.75'W X 8.5'H, is handmade of porcelain, hand - painted in Hungary, and is part of a numbered limited edition of 150.

This beautiful Herend landing hawk figurine is mainly for display. You can place it on a mantel, bookshelf, or any flat surface in your home or office to add a touch of elegance. When handling it, make sure to hold it gently as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading over time. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the hand - painted finish.
