"Sneaky Fox" showcases exceptional European porcelain craftsmanship in this elegant Herend figurine portraying a fox in a sinuous, prowling pose. The elongated body curves gracefully as the animal stretches forward, capturing the distinctive stealthy movement of a fox on the hunt. What truly distinguishes this piece is its intricate surface decoration-the animal's coat rendered in Herend's signature fishnet pattern with rust-red triangular scales meticulously hand-painted against a pristine white background. Delicate pale blue ears and subtle gold accents on the paws and nose add refined touches to this sophisticated portrayal.
