Know before you buy
This figurine is crafted from fine porcelain, consistent with the high-quality materials Herend is known for.
Dust the figurine regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If a deeper clean is necessary, use a mild soap and lukewarm water, ensuring you dry it thoroughly with a lint-free cloth to protect the finish.
This specific vintage Puffin is finished in a striking solid blue glaze rather than the brand's iconic hand-painted fishnet pattern.
Place the figurine in a stable, low-traffic area away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations. A glass display cabinet or a sturdy shelf away from the edge is ideal to prevent accidental knocks.
Authentic Herend pieces typically feature a blue stamp on the underside, which includes the brand name, the country of origin, and often a series of numbers identifying the specific mold and painter.
