Mallard Duck by Colin Kellam. Unique Stoneware Sculpture of a mallard duck.

This striking stoneware sculpture by Colin Kellam showcases a beautifully realised mallard duck. Depicted with remarkable attention to form, the piece has both character and natural elegance. Measuring 40 cm in height, 41 cm in width, and 27 cm in depth, Mallard Duck commands presence from every angle. The proportions offer a balanced blend of realism and artistic interpretation.

Crafted entirely from stoneware, the sculpture highlights the durability and rich tactile quality of the medium. Kellam’s skilled hand is evident in the subtle texturing of the duck’s feathers, the gentle curves of its body, and the expressive posture that captures the bird’s poised, alert nature. The surface has been thoughtfully glazed to reflect the mallard’s distinctive colouring. With deep, earthy tones and carefully placed highlights that give depth and vitality to the form.

This work is unique, meaning it is a one-of-a-kind original piece rather than an edition. This makes it a highly collectable example of Kellam’s artistry. Known for his keen observation of wildlife and his ability to translate organic subjects into charismatic ceramic figures. Kellam combines naturalistic detail with the tactile honesty of handcrafted clay.

Whether displayed in a contemporary setting, a rustic interior, or a collection of fine art ceramics, this mallard duck sculpture offers a captivating presence. Its graceful stance, expressive modelling, and distinctive handmade qualities make it not only a tribute to one of nature’s most familiar birds, but also an enduring piece of sculptural craftsmanship.
