Herend Small Nautilus Figurine

Nautilus shells are incredibly strong, capable of withstanding the high pressure at 2,600 feet underwater. While this Herend Small Nautilus Figurine may not share the same strength, it's a wonderful addition to any collection. Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Its famous fishnet pattern, very popular in the US, dates back to 1858 when an artist, inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design, painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Each piece is meticulously handmade in Hungary. This figurine measures 3.25'L x 2'W x 2.5'H, is made of porcelain, and is hand - painted in Hungary.

This Herend Small Nautilus Figurine is mainly for display purposes. You can place it on a shelf, a mantel, or a table to add a touch of elegance to your space. When handling it, make sure to hold it gently as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the colors from fading. Store it in a safe place, perhaps in a box with soft padding if you need to move it or store it for a while.
