Masterfully produced by the historic Royal Bayreuth factory in Tettau, Bavaria, Germany, this exquisite turn-of-the-century piece dates precisely to the late 1890s or early 1900s.

The small pitcher is molded into the form of a realistic Mallard duck, with its wide-open bill functioning as the pouring spout and a graceful, integrated handle mirroring the line of its tail feathers. The hand-painted artistry highlights the exceptional skill of the Bavarian factory, featuring an iridescent blend of deep forest green, rich earthy brown, and soft russet tones that give the feathers a wonderful depth. The interior well is finished in a delicate, glossy pale green glaze.

The reverse of the base features the clean, authentic blue underglaze Royal Bayreuth Bavaria coat of arms hallmark. Early figural wildlife pieces of this caliber are highly sought after by porcelain collectors and work beautifully as conversational home decor accents in traditional, rustic, or hunting lodge-inspired spaces.
