It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
This tray is exquisite and far exceeds expectations. It would make a stunning, yet practical, gift. I would happily pay $100--the tray is that beautiful.
