Herend porcelain figurines in traditional painting are known worldwide, but the fishnet decor "Herend Fishnet" represents one of the most beloved groups of porcelain figurines for collectors. This type of figurine has been produced since 1860, when the first rooster figurine in red fishnet was created for a famous author who used the pseudonym "Fighting Rooster" in newspapers. The decor itself is much older, as it appeared on early Chinese porcelain figurines as a stylized depiction of bird feathers and fish scales. The masters of Herend gave the Chinese prototype, as well as many other decors that came from the Far East, a distinctive touch, resulting in a style characteristic only of this manufactory. Condition: excellent preservation, without damage or restoration. Age 1949-1960, Herend mark, size (cm) h.10, material porcelain, condition in good condition.
