—“Little Duckling Set” Joins Collection as Newest Member—

STERLING, VA, January 8, 2008…Herend will present the newest addition in its Children’s Gifts Collection, the “Little Duckling Set,” at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market, January 8-16. This delightful children’s dining set will be on display at the Herend Showroom in Suite 907 of the Atlanta Gift Mart.

“Grandparents, relatives and friends have traditionally presented the proud parents of a new baby boy or girl with a china place setting to symbolize the new family member’s place at the table,” remarked Maureen Ellis, director of marketing for Herend in the U.S. “Herend’s ‘Little Duckling Set’ will captivate the little diner as well as become a family heirloom to pass from generation to generation.”

Children love to mimic the different sounds that animals make, whether it is a cow’s “moo” or a duck’s “quack.” While Herend’s charming duckling on the Little Duckling Set does not “quack,” he will entertain and inspire small appetites. He is hand painted in a soft butterscotch yellow color. Perhaps knowing how irresistibly cute he is and popular in the figurine version, he turns from side to side so that his best pose is captured. The Little Duckling Set consists of a Bowl (7-inch diameter), Mug (6 oz. capacity) and Plate (8 ¼-inch diameter). Suggested retail price for each piece in the Duckling Set is $120.

Herend Children’s Collection dining pieces already in the line include a “Bowl with an Elephant,” “Plate with a Bear,” “Mug with a Bunny,” and three-piece “Frog Prince” set.

An especially delightful figurine to give to new parents is the newly introduced “Stork & Baby” (4 ¼-inches tall) which is available in seven shaded fishnet colors and suggested to retail for $375. Or, any one of more than twenty-five creatures populating the Baby Animals figurine collection would also make an ideal gift.

Other appropriate children’s gifts include a “Tooth Fairy Box,” “First Curl Box” and a tiny “Baby Shoe Ornament” that comes with its own “shoe lace.”
