The sculptural form is both decorative and functional, with the lid cleverly integrated into the duck’s body, creating an elegant tabletop presentation. The finely molded feather texture and expressive painted eye give the piece a whimsical yet refined character.

The underside is marked “K 3281 M1 1742”, which appears to be a pattern or mold number rather than a manufacturer’s hallmark. Without a maker’s mark, it is difficult to attribute it with certainty, though it has the look of European or Japanese decorative ceramics from the mid-20th century. See less
