This striking piece is a vintage Action Industries Tapestry Collection porcelain penguin figurine, beautifully hand-decorated in a classic Japanese Imari style with 24k gold highlights.
The design features a vibrant deep cobalt blue wing accented with stylized golden floral patterns. Its breast and body are detailed with an intricate repeating orange-red and gold geometric pattern resembling stylized feathers, giving it a rich, textile-like appearance.
While inspired by prestigious high-end English porcelain brands like Royal Crown Derby—which famously produces a very similar luxury bone china penguin paperweight with a slightly taller, upturned beak—this specific version is crafted under the Tapestry Collection label and was manufactured in Japan. It stands as a highly sought-after, elegant collectible for fans of gilt bird figurines.
