Treasures of Marco Polo's Cousin In the Golden Age of Venice, about the year 1296, Marco Polo's cousin, jealous of all the loot his daring relative had smuggled out of Mysterious Cathay, decided to go to China too. The Treasures of Marco Polo's Cousin. A continuation of our fabulous Marco Polo series. A vintage yellow miniature porcelain duck in a particularly graceful attitude.
Ceramic ducks are very popular as decoration.
From the 1930s. After making a limited edition of 5, he went out for lunch and forgot how to make them. One miniature metal Japanese geisha carrying a parasol. Exceedingly rare these days, these little figures were originally made to grace bonsai landscapes. Very detailed, with obi, hair pins, and even the tiniest of clogs.
