Each piece bears the Metzke maker’s mark and 1975 date on the underside, a testament to the studio’s craftsmanship during its golden era. Metzke has long since closed its doors, making intact, boxed sets like this increasingly rare and deeply collectible.

Presented in two original boxes of six, these petite pewter ducks bring a sense of ceremony to any gathering. Their weight, their soft antiqued sheen, and their beautifully modeled figural forms create a table presence that feels both refined and warmly nostalgic.

Imagine them lining a long dining table as guests gather for an intimate dinner where duck confit is the star of the evening, each place card tucked into a pewter duck that echoes the menu with a wink of sophistication. Or picture them at a family Easter meal, perched among spring flowers, pastel linens, and heirloom china — small but unforgettable details that make the holiday table feel truly special.

Whether used for place cards, menu tags, photos, or as tiny sculptural accents, this set offers a rare blend of charm, craftsmanship, and provenance.

A rare opportunity to acquire a complete, boxed 1975 set from a now‑closed American pewter studio.
Note: Folding place card bottom increases stability of cards. See less
