The Waterfowl Courtship | Handcrafted Duck Figurine Set

This four-piece collection brings together the grace, color, and symbolism of ducks in handcrafted ceramic form. Each bird in this set was carved and painted by hand in Uruguay, with unique surface textures, stylized featherwork, and a mix of gold, platinum, and rich enamel detailing. As a group, they evoke balance, beauty, and lasting connection, reflecting both the harmony of nature and the refined hand of the artist.

1. Mandarin Duck (Male)

Dimensions: 09×07×12 cm (3 1/2″×2 3/4″×4 3/4″) | Issue Year: 2020

This male mandarin duck stands upright, composed and elegant. Its body is decorated with a myriad of vivid colors - bright coral, deep sapphire, warm gold, and subtle greens; layered like robes of ceremonial silk. The feather patterns are carved with precision, and the tail arcs upward with stylized flourish. Its stance feels dignified, yet peaceful.

In Chinese culture, mandarin ducks are symbols of lifelong love and loyalty. They’re believed to mate for life, making them powerful emblems of fidelity and union. This figure channels that meaning, capturing stillness, confidence, and the calm strength of devotion.

2. Female Mandarin Duck

Dimensions: 08×06×11 cm (2 3/4″×2 3/8″×4 3/8″) | Issue Year: 2021

Her coloring is softer: earthy browns and silvers with gentle shading, and her form is more understated, with low curves and a subtle turn of the beak. Together with the male, she completes a visual pair, offering a balance of boldness and quiet grace.

She represents gentleness, patience, and grounded beauty - essential complements to her companion’s vivid show. The pair reflects partnership that honors difference without imbalance.

3. Mallard Duck (Male)

Dimensions: 10×07×08 cm (3 7/8″×2 3/4″×3 1/8″) | Issue Year: 2016

This seated mallard features a polished green head, with smooth enamel giving it a glossy finish. The chest is patterned in textured gold, flanked by deep cobalt-blue wings and black-edged feathers. Its pose is relaxed, tucked, and compact, giving the piece a stable, peaceful energy.

Mallards are symbols of adaptability, resourcefulness, and seasonal change. Found across the world, they move with water, air, and land. This figurine, with its mix of bright and neutral tones, is a nod to nature’s flexibility and flow.

4. Baby Mallard Duck

Dimensions: 07×06×06 cm (2 3/4″×2 3/8″×2 3/8″) | Issue Year: 2016

The smallest figure in the group, this duckling sits with rounded features and wide-set eyes. Its shape is gentle and soft, with yellow feet tucked close and blue-patterned wings folded over its back. It has a look of playfulness and wonder.

It speaks to beginnings. The presence of a duckling adds narrative depth to the set; it tells the story of continuity, care, and the passage from youth to maturity. In feng shui, ducks and ducklings together are thought to invite harmony and family unity.

This set is not just an arrangement of birds, for it’s a meditation on connection. Where the bear bundle speaks of protection and strength, the duck bundle leans into harmony, color, and gentle loyalty. These birds speak with soft language. They live on the water’s edge, between land and reflection, between groundedness and letting go.

Their pairing, both Mandarin and Mallard, creates a subtle conversation across species and cultures. One, ornate and symbolic of romance; the other, common yet quietly wise. Together, they evoke companionship without noise, beauty without ornamentation, and closeness without demand.

In this collection, every feather is a brushstroke, every color a gesture. The craftsmanship carries the stillness of nature and the care of the human hand.
