The black-backed kingfisher, also known as the oriental dwarf kingfisher, is a shy bird usually found near small streams in densely shaded forests. He is the smallest of the kingfishers being only slightly larger than a medium-sized hummingbird; yet, in the talented hands of the artists at Herend, this bird has an outsized presence. With his luminous colors no longer hidden in the shadows, the full beauty of this bird, amplified Herend-style, is breathtaking.
