Herend Peregrine Falcon 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 was inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design and painted it on a rooster figurine to mimic feathers. All Herend figurines are hand - made in Hungary. The Peregrine Falcon, named for its wandering nature, is a widespread raptor. When hunting, it performs amazing 'stoops' with closed wings from up to 3,000 feet above its target, reaching speeds of 200 miles per hour. This elite predator is now immortalized in a striking porcelain figurine. The sculptor focused on power, from the bold talons and jagged rock to the intense stare of the hunter. Painters used a mix of strong and delicate strokes, highlighting the falcon's blend of force and precision.

This beautiful Herend Peregrine Falcon figurine is mainly for display. You can place it on a shelf, a mantel, or a table 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 it might fade the hand - painted colors. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can slightly dampen the cloth with water and gently wipe the surface, but make sure it dries completely to prevent any damage to the porcelain.
