Herend Reserve Birds Of Paradise Vase

When the protagonist of Umberto Eco’s novel landed as a shipwrecked on a small island of Papua New Guinea in the 17th century and saw the first paradise bird in his lifetime, he believed he found the long-lost Garden of Eden. He was so impressed by the splendid plumage of the bird that he felt like being in Paradise. This legendary, endangered bird with beautiful plumage is handpainted by Herend masters in a photorealistic style on two ornamental vases decorated with green and blue foundations. Handmade and handpainted porcelain from Hungary with 24k gold accents. Each in a limited edition of 50.

Measures 9¾” diameter x 25½” h.
