Celebrate the coastal majesty of the North Atlantic with the breathtaking Herend Limited Edition Puffin on Rock Figurine. This highly exclusive collectible captures the striking posture of a seafaring puffin newly returned to rocky shores after months over open water. Hand-painted by master artisans in Hungary, this remarkable piece is restricted to a limited edition size of just 150 pieces worldwide, making it an incredibly rare jewel for discerning collectors.
The puffin is rendered in a magnificent "feathery tuxedo" layout. Its chest features Herend's classic grey-scaled fishnet pattern, while its sleek back and wings are coated in a rich, dark slate glaze accented by intricate 24-karat gold feather details. Its remarkably vivid, multi-toned bill and expressive eyes perfectly capture the spirit of a bird back on land, seeking out its lifelong mate among the coastal cliffs.
Herend is known for its long history of producing the finest hand-painted porcelain worldwide. Herend’s trademark fishnet pattern design, which is most popular in the U.S., originated in 1858 when an artist intrigued with a Chinese plate’s fish scale design painted it onto a rooster figurine’s breast to imitate feathers. Each Herend figurine is handmade in Hungary.
