Know before you buy
Because every piece is hand-painted by Herend artisans, there will be subtle variations in the brushwork and color application. This ensures that your specific figurine is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation.
Like all fine porcelain, this piece is delicate and should be handled with care. It is intended for decorative display rather than functional use, so it is best placed in a stable area away from high-traffic zones.
The figurine measures 2 inches in height and 1.5 inches in width. Its compact size makes it ideal for styling on bookshelves, desks, or within a glass display cabinet.
To maintain the finish, gently dust the figurine with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the hand-painted details and the porcelain glaze.
Yes, as an authentic Herend product, it is crafted in Hungary and follows the brand's long-standing tradition of porcelain artistry. You can identify genuine Herend pieces by the signature markings typically found on the underside.
