Ermine and Crane chopsticks set, handcrafted in porcelain, from the collection created in collaboration with the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.

This chopstick set belongs to the collection created in collaboration with the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, one of Spain’s foremost art museums. The museum houses one of the largest collections of the great masters of Western painting, with major works by Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Picasso, Kandinsky, among many many other artists. Our collection includes pieces inspired by works from the museum, in this case by “Young Knight in a Landscape”, 1505, by Carpaccio.

Ermine and crane portray two of the animals that appear in “Young Knight in a Landscape”. This painting by the Renaissance master from the Venetian school depicts a knight in armor posing in the middle of a richly decorated scene which includes another knight, buildings, plants, and numerous animals, all represented with great detail and refinement.

Two of these animals served as inspiration for our pieces: an ermine and a crane with elegant and stylized lines. The forms of the two animals act as chopstick rests in the fusion between aesthetics and functionality which is the signature trait of these two creations.Ermine and crane are handcrafted in porcelain with a glossy finish. This set includes four wooden chopsticks.

Lladro 01008697 FLOCK OF CRANES

Sculptor Francisco Polope
Limited Series of 2000 units

Glossy porcelain animal sculpture of five limited series red head cranes attached to a green stand.

The Red-headed Crane is one of the largest and most beautiful birds of nature, a species that is unfortunately in danger of extinction and to which Lladró pays tribute with this piece. Standout details in this composition are the stylised necks and the delicacy of the legs, which increases the complexity of their balance. Captured in different positions, the sculptor has managed to combine them to create an elegant and harmonious set.
