Lladro 01009546 Hermes

Sculptor Ernest Massuet

One of the best known gods from Olympus, made in white matte porcelain with touches of golden luster.

Hermes was cunning and clever and had the gift of oratory, which is why the gods chose him to be their herald, as he was able to convey their message with eloquence and charm. This god from Mount Olympus is usually depicted with wings on his heels because he has to travel quickly to deliver Zeus’s orders wherever he was called. In this new edition, the wings are decorated with golden luster. Hermes is the latest addition to the Myths Collection and, like the rest of the pieces, it is made in matte white porcelain to enhance the realism, the wealth of details and the sculptural work in the execution.

Lladro 01002021 Goddess Durga










Issue Year: 2014
Sculptor: Marco Antonio Noguerón
Size: 58x39 cm
Base included
Limited Edition 2000 pieces

Believed to be one of the most powerful goddesses and one of the most venerated by Hindus, Goddess Durga now arrives from the Lladró workshops for the first time in a majestic limited edition, which bears the stamp of excellence like all the great High Porcelain creations.

Portraying Durga, the goddess who alleviates the suffering of all people on Earth, who protects the righteous and establishes benevolence and order, was both a challenge and an honor for Lladró artists. Made in a combination of glazed and matte porcelain, Durga is depicted sitting on the back of a spectacular tiger with striking blue eyes, symbolizing the goddess’s will and determination. The eight arms with which she is portrayed, each one holding a symbol of the different powers given to her by the gods, seem to have a movement of their own, while the goddess’s body and face convey a sense of peace and compassion. The composition is decorated with the signature deep red color of Hindu iconography and a spectrum of colors that includes faded browns, turquoises and mauves. These tonalities are enhanced by the use of carefully applied golden luster and a garland of flowers made up of 280 white and 7 pink petals, in addition to the delicate lotus flower she is holding in one of her hands. All these flowers are handmade, petal by petal. A work of exceptional beauty at par with the all-powerful mighty Durga
