A Portuguese Ceramic Swan and a Chinese Ceramic Duck

About the Item

A Portuguese ceramic swan and a Chinese ceramic duck. The swan, larger and more imposing, has a sculpted body with delicate details on the feathers, emphasising its elegant appearance. It's white in colour with touches of gold on the beak and wingtips. The piece has an open shape, suggesting that it could be used as a small decorative container or to place a vase of flowers. The smaller duck has a more curved posture, with its head tilted down to look at its young. The piece is decorated with a small porcelain rose on the back. Like the swan, it also has a white finish, with hand-painted details on the beak and eyes.
