The British Saddleback Pig was specially commisioned by Mulberry Hall from Herend. Each figurine is handmade and handpainted in Herend's outstanding black, white and gold scale decoration and is exclusive to Mulberry Hall worldwide in a numbered limited edition of 500.
Its decoration reflects the uneven form of this uniquely British animal, highlighting its dimensions and characteristics. The middle band of the Pig, which is characteristic of the Saddleback, as well as the hooves, tail, nose, inside of the ears and the udders are fully decorated with 24 carat gold. This application involves extreme intricacy and several separate firings.
