Sculptor José Santaeulalia

Porcelain sculpture inspired by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, tactics, and good counsel.

The daughter of Zeus and Metis, Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, tactics and good counsel. Believed to be the protectress of the city of Athens, she is also the goddess of war, understood as the fight to achieve justice. Greek mythology, with its legends, gods and heroes, continues to captivate us today. The wealth of its stories and its powerful symbolism are an endless source of inspiration for our artists. Athena comes to life in our workshops thanks to this interpretation in white matte porcelain, decorated with ocher and golden lusters and with metallic whites in an iridescent finish. Accompanying the goddess is her faithful owl, the symbol of wisdom. This bird is portrayed in porcelain in great detail, posing on Athena’s shoulder and also etched in bas relief on the helmet, bracelet and leg guards. In addition, etched on the protective shield is the head of Medusa, the gorgon who turned anyone who looked upon it into stone. Gods depicted through other gods, characters that converge and lives that intersect in order to share with us the culture of Ancient Greece and its fascinating history.

Limited Series of 250 units

Finished Gloss and metallic luster

Sculptor Francisco Polope

Limited edition sculpture, inspired by Greek mythology, of a woman with wings on her outstretched arms, in gloss finish white, blue and gold lustre porcelain.

Winged Fantasy is a porcelain sculpture inspired by Greek mythology. The rich jewels and clothing suggest the figure is a goddess. The wings springing from her open arms represent freedom and the movement of dance. The light skin tones are in striking contrast to the colourful clothing. There is an interesting matte finish with high-gloss touches throughout the sculpture, and a mother-of-pearl effect on the necklace. On the wings, glazes in several tones, some with a metallic finish, and gold lustre contribute to the solemnity inspired by the figure and evoke the plumage of a peacock. Three years in development, it took over 70 man-hours to paint, split among three people. The challenge of this creation was to maintain the balance and pose of the wings and ensure they did not shrink in firing. For contemporary settings, Winged Fantasy is a Limited Series, available only to 250 people worldwide, so its value should increase over time. It includes a High Porcelain certificate which certifies the authenticity of the piece. The ivory-coloured and blue base is an integral part of the piece. Made in Spain.

Porcelain Type Matte and gold lustre

Sculptor Ernest Massuet

This wonderful Atlas, handcrafted in matte white porcelain, is now joining the Myths Collection, a series dedicated to the great Greek and Roman gods of old.

Atlas, son of Iapetus and the nymph Clymene, led the rebellion of the Titans against Zeus and, as a punishment, he was condemned to hold up the sky on his shoulders… Countless legends exist about this strong man who bore the weight of the celestial spheres to keep them separate from the earth and maintain the balance of the universe. He was also attributed with great learning in mathematics and astrology. Making this Atlas required a set of 12 different molds to create the porcelain fragments to compose the final piece. To further enhance the strength of this god, it was decided not to apply any other color except for some carefully chosen touches of golden luster and the iridescent metalized enamels of the sphere.
