Herend Reserve Mallard Duck Family

A heartwarming scene of a mallard duck family, with the trademark fishnet pattern. The family is seen posing over logs, with the adult mallard ducks leading the way. Mallards are known as “dabbling ducks” because they feed on the surface rather than by diving. In the case of Herend’s version, this inclination to stay topside is surely driven by the fact that they can optimize the number of admiring glances their beautiful, painted plumage will garner. Alternating colors of striking green, brown and 24k gold highlights can be seen in their feathers, with terracotta fishnet staying consistent across their bodies. Their coy expression could be attributed to the fact that they know a secret: the logs they are sitting on aren’t real. Herend artists have done a masterful job hand-painting each mallard duck, and only a close inspection can reveal the true porcelain composition. Limited edition of 150.
