Figure - Conjunto de Patos (4) - Wood, Ceramic, Brass

Set of decorative ducks from the second half of the 20th century.

This set consists of four duck figures crafted from different materials, ranging from carved wood to possible metal alloys such as brass. All of them feature hand-applied decoration, a hallmark of decorative crafts produced between the fifties and the eighties. Each piece shows its own style, both in shape and finish, which suggests diverse artisanal origins or limited editions.

General characteristics

• Variety of materials
The visible textures mainly evoke polychromed wood, although some pieces could be made from light metal—such as brass— and subsequently painted or patinated to achieve aged or rustic effects.
• Handcrafted decoration
The colors, motifs, and ornamental details reveal the human touch: visible brushstrokes, small irregularities, and color variations that lend authenticity and character.
• Aesthetic of the 20th century
The combination of bright colors, worn finishes, and streamlined designs fits with the decorative trends of the second half of the 20th century, when it was common to reinterpret animal figures with a more artistic than realistic approach.


Personality of each piece

• Dark duck with reddish highlights
With a sober, traditional appearance, featuring a finish that recalls stained and varnished wood.
• blue duck with a weathered texture
It features a worn, very typical effect of artisanal techniques that imitate marine patinas or tempera painting.
• orange duck with botanical motifs
More ornamental, with a design that blends color and nature, very typical of mid-20th-century decorative craftsmanship.
• Light duck with crackle glaze and motifs in purple and green tones
Its crackled finish and soft color palette suggest a more delicate piece, possibly inspired by ceramic techniques or by imitations of antique glaze.
