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.

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.

Tree Frogs
on
Leaf
Some species of tree frogs use a technique called startle coloration to protect themselves from predators.

The tree frogs on leaf measure 9.25” long and 3.75” tall. Limited Edition of 250 54
Walrus
He’s the strongest male with the largest tusks and therefore he dominates his social group and that would certainly make any walrus proud.

The Zebra measures 5” long and 4” tall. Limited Edition of 250 56
Blue Chrysanthemum Foo Dogs

A full moon and a crisp winter landscape seem to be reflected back in the dramatic black, platinum and gray fishnet tones of this member of the Reserve Collection.

The wolf is 7.75” long and 4.25” tall. Limited Edition of 175 65
Moose
Rather than turning away, this moose is making sure he has been spotted. Now that his antlers have been painted in gold, combined with a fascinating, ombré fishnet treatment on his body, he is confident that no other bull will match him for style this mating season.
Limited Edition of 150 66

Groomed by Mother Nature but enhanced by Herend, the hardy longhorn and its characteristic features are beautifully captured in this figurine which stands 14” long and 7.5” tall.
Limited Edition of 150 73

Limited Edition of 250 80
Pair of Turtles
A turtle pyramid is the best way to reach up for those critical UV rays and to soak up some essential heat. In this case, the sun is also shining a spotlight on this lounging duo’s arresting mix of Herend’s classic fishnet pattern combined with vivid streaks of color. The result is a dramatic variation on the turtles’ usual camouflage painted to reflect the colors found in the diverse layers of the pond they like to call home. Limited Edition of 175 81
Tesserae Tortoise
Taking its name from small pieces of stone, glass or ceramic used in mosaics, thirty eight different Herend patterns create a mosaic-like composition on the tortoise’s shell. The 3” tall Tesserae Tortoise stretches to 8.75” long.
Limited Edition of 250 82
Conch Shell with Curious Crab

Limited Edition of 150 84

Limited Edition of 250 88
Mandarin Fish
Named after the colorful robes of Imperial Chinese officers (mandarins), these fish are surprisingly shy considering their appearance. A fish seemingly designed for the painter’s brush, the artists at Herend have used multiple techniques to beautifully immortalize this exotic reefdweller. Limited Edition of 150 89
Nautilus
When mother nature gets it right from the start, she knows better than to continuously improve upon her own design.

Limited Edition of 150 90
Octopus
Only the artistry of Herend could create such fluidity and motion out of a porcelain figurine.

Limited Edition of 250 99
Common Loon

Limited Edition of 150 100
Flamingo Duet
A new symphony of fishnet colors in light orange, raspberry and rust makes a world-wide debut on the stunning Flamingo Duet figurine, which stands at an impressive 11” tall.
Limited Edition of 250 101
Mallard Duck Family
This sweet addition to the Reserve Collection features a mallard duck family with the mother keeping a close eye on her young. Mallards are known as “dabbling ducks” because they feed on the surface rather than by diving. In the case of Herend’s version, this inclination to stay topside is surely driven by the fact that they can optimize the number of admiring glances their beautiful, painted plumage will garner. Limited Edition of 150 102
Pelicans on Pier
To properly convey the remarkable presence of these birds, Herend’s artists have taken some artistic license since the pelican’s normal subdued coloring stands in stark contrast to their colorful personalities. Limited Edition of 175 103

Spotted Sandpiper on Driftwood
In the hands of Herend’s artists, the spotted sandpiper makes his debut in dramatic fashion from his striking coloration to the swirls of texture on the driftwood to the natural painting on the shells so detailed they appear plucked from nature.
Limited Edition of 200 105
Swan
With this achingly elegant swan, Herend’s artists have employed a striking, new painting technique to capture the airy, delicate composition of a bird’s feather.

Wood Duck
