This porcelain sculpture depicts a mallard duck in mid-flight, rising from a marshy base. The piece captures the dynamic movement of the bird, a classic subject in decorative arts.
Crafted from glazed porcelain, the sculpture features a detailed hand-painted finish. The mallard is rendered with a characteristic blue-green head, brown breast, and grey-brown wings, set against pale green reeds and a blue-tinged water base. The underside bears a green maker's mark featuring a lion and the number 1814, alongside an impressed name.
The sculpture remains in very good condition, retaining its original glossy glaze and vibrant coloration. The delicate elements, such as the wingtips and reeds, appear intact.
This piece serves as a refined accent for a study, library, or traditional living space. It pairs well with classic wooden furniture and other naturalistic decorative objects.
