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