Herend Reserve Hummingbird on Flowered Branch

Herend Reserve Hummingbird on Flowered Branch

Limited edition of 150

Often described as flying jewels due to their remarkable colors, some male hummingbirds have learned to orient their bodies and feathers towards the sun to enhance the visual impact of their iridescent plumage and to heighten their appeal during courtship. It appears that Herend’s hummingbird has learned this lesson well and has briefly stopped his dazzling wings so that their beauty can be appreciated from all angles. However, this avian acrobat won’t sit still for long and in a blink of an eye will return to drinking nectar, his favorite high-sugar fuel source, to keep those stunning wings beating up to 80 times per second. Handmade and handpainted porcelain from Hungary with 24k gold accents.
