Shown here is a Herend Antique Eagle Figurine, hand painted and sculpted in porcelain around 1960. It stands 8 inches tall, stretches a full 12 inches wide from wingtip to wingtip, and measures 6 inches front to back. The bird is caught mid-dive, talons gripping a rocky white base, with brushed brown feathers and a glossy glaze that catches the light. Condition is near mint: edges are crisp, colors are strong, and there are no chips or hairlines, remarkable for a piece about 66 years old. It has shelf presence and displays on a mantel.

Herend is Hungary’s porcelain house, founded in 1826 and celebrated for meticulous handwork. Every figurine is modeled and painted by artisans, then kiln‑fired multiple times for depth and sheen, and usually carries the Herend Hungary shield mark and the painter’s number. The company gained prestige after royal commissions in the 19th century and remains known for lifelike animals and the classic fishnet pattern. Pieces from the 1960s were produced in smaller runs than today, so an intact eagle of this size is fairly scarce and sought after by bird and Herend collectors alike. Its age, hand painting, and broad wingspan give it genuine vintage character.
