Funky Duck Figurine

This is a figurine of a duck made by Nymphenburg during the mid 20th century. This is a very rare model that I believe is one of the few also made in majolica though I am not totally sure. It is a rare model and I have only seen a handful of these over the years if that. Nicely modeled in a very modern kind of way with superb coloring. Standing on a rock with a wave hitting the rock in the front. I am unsure who modeled this piece but it might have been Terletzki-Scherf or so as she liked the crazy animals :) The bird is 10 inches tall, 7.5 inches long and 4.625 inches wide so rather large. It is marked with the impressed shield mark underneath the base as well as the impressed model number 971 / a. There is also the green shield mark with the word Nymphenburg and a letter A underneath as well as some black letters and numbers. The piece is in great condition with one of the curly tail feathers being reglued though it is the one in the back and even up close and personal it is not very obvious. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1499
