Glazed Ceramic Duck Figurine

This item is a decorative glazed ceramic figurine in the shape of a duck, depicted in a resting or sitting pose. The primary colors are various shades of blue and gray, with a lighter, speckled gray-blue body and distinctly darker blue wings. The wings feature textured, relief-like feather details, giving them a three-dimensional appearance. The duck's head is predominantly the lighter speckled gray-blue, with a flat, medium-blue bill. A notable decorative feature on the face is the eyes, which are painted black with prominent, stylized black eyelashes, giving the duck a somewhat anthropomorphic or whimsical expression. The glaze appears to be glossy, reflecting light, particularly over the head and body. There are no immediately obvious chips, cracks, or significant surface abrasions visible in the provided image; the overall condition appears good, with the glaze intact. The manufacturing method likely involves slip casting, followed by hand-painting and glazing. The style suggests a decorative item, possibly from the mid to late 20th century, common in home decor. Its craftsmanship indicates a mass-produced item, though the hand-painted details add a touch of individuality. The overall aesthetic is charming and ornamental.
