This pair of porcelain mallard ducks, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory in Germany between 1745 and 1755, is a testament to the skilled artisans of the renowned porcelain factory. The ducks, meticulously modeled and painted, exhibit lifelike details, capturing the feathered texture and natural poses of these common waterfowl. Each duck stands on a base adorned with foliage, adding a touch of naturalism to the composition. This exquisite pair is a fine example of the high-quality porcelain production that characterized the Meissen Manufactory during the 18th century.
