(lot of 2) Herend hand-painted porcelain bird figures, each with polychrome feathers, rust fishnet patterned decoration, and parcel gilt accents, including: (1) pair of swans, approx 7 3/8"h, 4.75"w, 5.25"d; (1) goose with gilt egg, on almond-shaped base, approx 7.5"h, 4.5"w, 3.25"d; 1.5lbs total
09.24.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3545: I note that both figures are presently intact, the painted decoration is well-preserved and I do not currently observe any notable losses to pigment or gilt decoration, the gilt applied to the goose egg having some typical light spotting commensurate with age/ oxidation, close visual examination reveals a minute chip to the end of one of the swans beaks, I do not see additional chips to either figure, nor do I observe any hairlines/ fractures, UV light examination does not reveal evidence of restoration or damage
