Porcelain Duck Figurine

This item is a porcelain figurine depicting a resting duck or a similar aquatic bird, likely a gull or goose, distinguished by its smooth, polished finish. The figurine is primarily white with subtle greyish or off-white shading on the wings, giving a soft, textured appearance to the feathers. The beak is a light, natural fawn or pale orange color, and the eyes are small, dark, and appear to be painted with precision, adding a lifelike quality. The overall construction suggests it is hollow-cast porcelain or ceramic, with a glossy glaze that reflects light, indicating good craftsmanship. The duck is posed in a serene, settled position, with its body resting low and its tail feathers slightly fanned out. Based on the Sharpie marker for scale, the figurine appears to be approximately 7-8 inches in length. There are no readily visible manufacturer's marks or signatures from the provided image, which would typically be located on the underside. The condition appears excellent with no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs, maintaining its original lustrous finish. The aesthetic aligns with mid-20th century to contemporary decorative porcelain, designed as an ornamental piece for home decor. The quality of the glaze and lack of visible imperfections suggest a well-produced item, though without maker's marks, pinpointing its exact origin or age is challenging. The simplicity of the design and naturalistic coloring contribute to its timeless appeal.
