Trunk up: the good-luck elephant
Many gift buyers look for an elephant with its trunk raised, a popular good-luck symbol. That is a folk belief, not something we have seen Herend state. If it matters to you, these models show a raised trunk in our photos: the Herend Elephant Luck Figurine, Herend Joyful Elephant Figurine, Herend Elephant with Tusks Figurine, Herend Young Elephant Figurine, Herend Party Elephant Figurine and Herend Reach For the Stars Figurine. The Herend Little Elephant Figurine, Herend Miniature Elephant Figurine and Herend Large Elephant Figurine carry the trunk low.
Which colors do Herend elephants come in?
Blue is offered on 11 of the 16 elephant models and Raspberry on 9. Key Lime, Black and Rust follow, on 6 models each. A few models add a mixed palette listed as Multicolor, including the Herend Elephant Luck Figurine and the Herend Joyful Elephant Figurine. On the Herend Party Elephant Figurine the elephant itself is white, and the color you choose is its fishnet party hat.

Caring for an elephant figurine
Lift an elephant by its body, never by the trunk or tusks. Dust with a soft cloth, and skip abrasives and lemon-based products. Our care and replacement guide has the details.
