Herend Fishnet Owl Porcelain Statue 5097 VHB – Extra Large 11.5 in (29 cm) Hand-Painted Porcelain, Rarest Size

A striking and rare large-scale Herend owl statue, model 5097 VHB, produced in the iconic Fishnet (VHB) pattern and executed entirely by hand in fine Hungarian porcelain.

This piece represents the largest owl size currently known on the market, created for serious collectors seeking a true statement sculpture rather than a standard figurine. Compared to the more commonly encountered 8.5 inches (21 cm) version, this 11.5 inches (29 cm) example is significantly rarer and considerably more commanding in presence.

The owl is meticulously hand-painted with Herend’s signature fishnet motif in cobalt blue, complemented by multicolor wings and refined gilt accents on the beak and talons. It stands proudly on a stylized book-form base, enhancing both its sculptural and symbolic appeal.
