This charming pair of Herend ducks is a hand‑painted porcelain figurine from around 1960. The sculpt shows a mallard drake nuzzled against a white duck, glazed in rich, lifelike colors—deep burgundy chest, blue wing panels, and an orange bill—with a smooth, glossy finish that catches the light. It’s a compact display piece, standing about 3 inches tall, 3 inches wide, and 4 inches long, easy to tuck into a cabinet or on a shelf. Condition is near mint, with crisp paint and no obvious chips or repairs. At roughly 66 years old, it’s a mid‑century original and a well‑kept survivor from the golden era of European porcelain.

Herend Porcelain Manufactory of Hungary, founded in 1826, is famed for finely modeled, hand‑painted tableware and animals. Every piece is cast, trimmed, then painted by a studio artist and fired multiple times for that bright white body and jewel‑like glazes. Collectors know the Herend Hungary backstamp and the painter’s or model numbers underneath. Beyond its famous Queen Victoria and fishnet patterns, Herend also made naturalistic birds like this pair, often in runs. Mid‑century examples over 60 years old in near mint condition are increasingly scarce, which is why these ducks remain desirable to collectors.
