A characterful pair of vintage ceramic decorative ducks with beautifully detailed painted plumage.

The closely matched birds are decorated in a sophisticated palette of brown, cream, grey and black, with subtle blue-green accents and contrasting reddish bills. Fine feather patterns cover the bodies, giving the pair considerably more visual detail than their compact proportions might suggest.

The figures appear to be made from a relatively thin, lightweight ceramic body, likely hollow, and have been carefully painted or hand-finished.

An attractive decorative pair with an appealing natural-history character, ideal for a bookshelf, console or collection of vintage animal figures.

Condition:Good vintage condition from visual inspection, with minor surface wear consistent with age. As these appear to be relatively thin ceramic, inspect the rims/bases carefully for hairlines or small chips before publishing the final condition statement.

Age: Probably later 20th century; exact date unknown.

Origin: Unknown.
