This is a Herend unicorn figurine in glossy white porcelain, dated 1980. The sculpted pose shows the unicorn rising onto its hindquarters, front legs curled with a graceful tilt of the head and a spiral horn. The glaze is bright and glassy, emphasizing the smooth, flowing lines and the modern, minimalist form. Edges are crisp, details like the ears, muzzle, and tail are neatly modeled. It’s a light, airy piece that reads both whimsical and refined, easy to style on a bookshelf or mantel. It presents cleanly, with an intact horn and an even shine, ready for display.

Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is known for hand-cast porcelain fired multiple times for strength and signature gloss. The workshop supplied European courts in the 19th century and later became beloved for figurines and patterns like Queen Victoria and Rothschild Bird. Animal figures are a big part of the line, sometimes painted in the iconic fishnet, other times left pure white for a sleek, mid-century feel like this unicorn. Each mold is poured, trimmed, and polished by artisans, so no two are exactly the same. Pieces from the late twentieth century are well regarded by collectors for quality and timeless look.
