Herend Owl Figurines
Last updated . Written by Tamar Medzadourian, Paris Tableware, Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Herend owls range from the 1.75-inch Herend Owl Miniature Figurine to naturalistic Reserve Collection pieces such as the Herend Gray Barred Owl Figurine and the Herend Sitting Snowy Owl Figurine. On October 24, 2026, Paris Tableware had 14 owl models in stock. The Herend Graduation Owl Figurine, in cap and glasses, comes in nine colors.
The Herend owl family: Owl, Mother Owl and Owlet
Three models make a family in three sizes: the Herend Owl Figurine at 4 inches, the Herend Mother Owl Figurine at 2.75 inches and the Herend Owlet Figurine at 1.25 inches. Their model numbers run in sequence, 15093, 15094 and 15095. On October 24, 2026, all three were in stock in Chocolate, Sapphire, Rust and Green, so a matched set is possible in those four colors. The Mother Owl and Owlet were also available together in Black, Blue, Raspberry and Key Lime.
Owls for graduations and teachers
The Herend Graduation Owl Figurine is made for the occasion, with a mortarboard and glasses. It comes in nine colors, so you can pick the fishnet closest to the school's colors. The Herend Pair of Owls on Book Figurine shows two owls side by side on an open book, in Rust or in two-color pairs such as Blue-Raspberry, and suits a teacher or two graduates. For May and June ceremonies, order in early spring if you need a particular color.

The fishnet owls are the small, collectible end of the range, all 4 inches or less. The Reserve owls are display pieces of 6 inches and more.

Caring for an owl figurine
Lift an owl by its body rather than an ear tuft or a branch. Dust with a soft cloth, and skip abrasives and lemon-based products. Our care and replacement guide has more.
