Duck 1750 - 1755

This charming porcelain duck, produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1755, demonstrates the skillful artistry of 18th-century English ceramics. The figurine's vibrant colors, particularly the intricate details in green, pink, and purple, accentuate the bird's lifelike posture. The duck's head is gracefully bent downward, creating a sense of movement and realism. This piece is a testament to the Chelsea factory's renowned expertise in creating delicate and colorful porcelain figures, capturing the beauty of nature in exquisite detail. The figurine is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
