This exquisite pair of miniature duck figurines represents a foundational era of the Swarovski Silver Crystal line. Crafted in Austria, these pieces feature faceted, pear-shaped lead crystal bodies that exhibit the superior refraction and "fire" of early production.

What makes this specific pair highly desirable to serious collectors is the rhodium-plated metal beaks and the presence of the original "SC" Block Logo etched on the underside. This hallmark was used exclusively from 1976 to 1988, identifying these as early heritage pieces produced before Swarovski transitioned to the modern Swan logo in 1989. These vintage ducks are distinguished from later versions by their mixed-media construction and the rarity of the block hallmark, making them a "must-have" for those specializing in the brand’s early history.
