Offered here is a charming vintage pair of hand-carved and hand-painted wooden duck decoys, each proudly retaining its original “Made in the People’s Republic of China” label. These mid-to-late 20th-century decorative birds are wonderfully detailed, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and classic styling reminiscent of folk art wildlife carving traditions.

The pair includes both a drake (male) with a rich forest green head and brown chest, and a hen (female) painted in natural feathered tones with fine stippling detail. Each duck is carved from solid wood, then expertly hand-painted in realistic and slightly stylized feather patterns. The attention to detail is evident in the precision of the brushwork and the subtle texture of the carved wings and tails.

These ducks measure approximately 9 inches in length each and have a smooth, tactile finish. They are lightweight yet sturdy, and display beautifully together as a matched decorative pair — ideal for mantlepieces, rustic or cabin decor, or collectors of duck decoys and Chinese folk crafts.

These decorative ducks were likely produced during the mid- to late 20th century as export pieces, part of a wave of Chinese handicrafts made during the post-Mao period when artisan-made items were promoted for international trade. Pieces marked “Made in the People’s Republic of China” typically date from the 1970s–1990s and are now increasingly sought after by collectors due to their quality and scarcity.
