When two famous patterns meet, magic happens! On the one hand, you have Mother Nature taking her paintbrush to create an intricate composition uniquely tailored to the animal in question. On the other hand, you have an artist at Herend who in 1874 picked up his tools to try to mimic a Chinese plate's fish scale design and the illustrious fishnet pattern was born. When painted on the same animal, a creative union of nature and fantasy give rise to a fascinating figurine.
ABOUT HEREND ANIMALS:
Endearing animals meek and bold, large and small, demure and majestic eagerly await the chance to melt your heart and warm your home. Each is brought to life by the skilled hands of artisans crafting and painting these charming porcelain creatures. The famous fishnet décor adorning many of the animals took form in 1858 when a Herend painter became inspired by a fish scale design he saw on a Chinese porcelain plate and painted a similar pattern onto a rooster figurine to imitate feathers. The rest is history, with the fishnet design now a Herend signature prized worldwide.
