Herend Staircase Shell Figurine

Staircase shells, also called Wentletrap shells, get their name from the Dutch word for spiral staircase. This Herend Staircase Shell figurine is a wonderful way to bring a touch of the sea into your home. Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. The well - known fishnet pattern design, 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 carefully handmade in Hungary. Dimensions are 2.5'L x 1'W x 1'H. It's made of porcelain and hand - painted in Hungary.

This Herend Staircase Shell figurine is a beautiful decorative piece. You can place it on a shelf, a mantel, or a side table to add a nautical touch to your home. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from high - traffic areas where it might get knocked over.
