About the Item
A bold and animated pair of Chinese porcelain duck-form models, likely dating to the mid-20th century, each rendered with distinctive enamel coloration and incised surface detail. Modeled as a pair of opposing drakes, the bodies are covered in a vibrant green glaze with finely incised plumage throughout, while the beaks are glazed in bright yellow with slightly open mouths lending a sense of lifelike expression. The tails are richly enameled in a palette of deep blue, yellow, and iron red in overlapping stylized feathers, offering a striking contrast to the body.
Executed in porcelain with overglaze enamels, the technique and aesthetic recall earlier Chinese famille verte and sancai traditions, though the overall sculptural form reflects a decorative sensibility more aligned with export or 20th-century decorative porcelain intended for a Western audience. The modeling is robust yet lively, with incised detailing across the wings and sides adding depth and texture beneath the high-gloss glaze.
These duck figures were likely conceived as display objects—possibly centerpieces or garnitures—rather than as tureens or functional wares. Their scale, symmetry, and expressive faces suggest an intention toward whimsical interior ornament, rooted in Chinese symbolic tradition wherein the duck (particularly in pairs) represents marital harmony and fidelity.
