A remarkable handcrafted ceramic duck sculpture, individually modelled in terracotta and entirely hand-painted with charming folk scenes that celebrate everyday rural life. Rather than simple decoration, the painted figures transform the sculpture into a narrative work of folk art, giving it warmth, character and individuality.
The body is hollow, as traditionally found in hand-built ceramic sculptures, with a vent hole on the underside used during the firing process. Its substantial wall thickness and expressive modelling clearly reveal the work of skilled artisans rather than mass production.
Signed “Moses” on the underside, this unusual sculpture is a distinctive decorative piece whose artistic character lies in the combination of sculptural form and hand-painted storytelling. Every brushstroke and every detail make it unique.
An eye-catching object for collectors of folk art, handcrafted ceramics and unusual decorative sculptures.
