Stylized Indian Runner Duck Figurine with Crackle Finish

Story

The Indian Runner duck became a sensation in the West during the 1800s when they were brought over from Southeast Asia, fascinated onlookers with their ability to run rather than waddle.

Maker / Origin

While no maker's mark is visible, this piece is consistent with the 'shabby chic' and 'new Americana' styles popularized by companies like Sarreid Ltd. or various boutique giftware brands of the late 20th century.

Condition & Value

There are visible scuffs and paint loss on the breast and neck area, revealing the lighter composite material beneath. While these chips are common for this type of finish, they do slightly reduce the value compared to a mint-condition example. The ribbon and bell appear to be later additions. The chips reduce value by roughly 20%.
