Lladro 01009492 Atlas

 


















Height (in) 22.047
Width (in) 10.236
Length (in) 10.63
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.

Lladro 01009546 Hermes

 



























Height (in) 15.354
Width (in) 8.268
Length (in) 8.268
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 01002035 Princess Scheherazade

 


















Limited Series of 300 units
Sculptor Raul Rubio
Height (in): 14.173
Width (in): 22.047
Length (in): 12.205
Finished Matte and metallic luster

Porcelain creation depicting the legendary Princess Scheherazade, the mythical storyteller of the One Thousand and One Nights, able to cast a spell on a king with her beauty and her boundless imagination.

Among the many stories that have come down to us over the course of time, from all different periods and from all different cultures, there are few as fascinating and charming as the tales told by the resourceful Princess Scheherazade to King Shahriar during the legendary Thousand and One Nights. This portrayal of an unsurpassed narrator is a tribute to the art of storytelling and the pleasure of listening, especially when the stories transport us to the magical world of oriental legends. Princess Scheherazade has everything you could expect from the main character of a timeless myth: the fascinating beauty of a woman able to seduce a legendary king, coupled with the opulent luxury of the Orient. The princess’s body, delicately modelled, is depicted reclining among brightly-colored fabrics and cushions and finely outlined rich ornamentation. The details in golden luster add a further touch of wealth and vibrancy to the overall composition. A scene conjured in the imagination of true romantic artists who have also envisaged the Orient shrouded in mystery and sensuality. Here the magic of the Thousand and One Nights is turned into a fantasy in porcelain able to make us dream.

Lladro 01001975 SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON

 












Weight (lb) 87.963
Sculptor Alfredo Llorens
Height (in) 24.803
Width (in) 35.039
Length (in) 24.803
Finished Gloss
Limited Serie Yes
Limited Serie Units 350

Limited edition, gloss finish porcelain sculpture of St. George on horseback as victor over the dragon, in green, blue and white hues.

Saint George is the prototype of the medieval knight and one of the most venerated saints of Europe. Artists of the Lladró High Porcelain workshop have created this spectacular interpretation of his legendary adventure with the dragon in a limited edition which stands out for its dynamism and the technical virtuosity of its execution. The scene shows the hero fighting with a fierce creature in order to free the king´s daughter, who was to be sacrificed to satisfy the demands of the monster. In the decoration of the piece, the richness of enamels stands out, with roughly twenty different tones applied to the dragon and the depth of textures accentuating the modelling and providing it with volume. In contrast, the knight displays more gentle treatment, softened by his light skin and Apollonian features. This contrast is reinforced by the white horse, a symbol of the nobility, bravery and loyalty necessary to defeat evil.
