Width (in): 31.89
Length (in): 8.661
Weight 21.72 lb
Limited Series of 750 units
Sculptor Francisco Polope
Finished Gloss and metallic luster

Limited edition, gloss finish porcelain sculpture of a woman with beautiful white wings, embellished with blue and white enamel.

Half woman, half goddess, the protagonist of this piece, inspired by ancient mythology, offers us a beautiful and powerful representation of femininity. With a blend of sensuality and mystical force, this High Porcelain limited edition refers us to that space reserved in the past for magic and freedom, the feminine principles of the exaltation of life, of which the art of ancient civilizations has left us testimony. The colour and decoration of the piece are inspired by the majestic plumage of the peacock, with the implementation of various techniques from enamels in varying shades of green, blue and ochre, to the use of coloured glazes and metallic lustre. The complex, brilliant interplay of tones and the colour palette is heightened with aged golden lustre, which reinforces the sense of nobility and solemnity inspired by the figure.

Lladro 01002005 Winged fantasy





 





























Height (in): 20.866
Width (in): 40.945
Length (in): 16.929
Weight 30.64 lb
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.

Lladro 01009028 Odin

 







































Weight 20.94 lb
Finished Matte and metallic luster
Dimensions
Height (in): 27.559
Width (in): 13.386
Length (in): 10.63
Sculptor José Santaeulalia

Porcelain sculpture depicting Odin, the powerful king of the gods in Norse mythology.

Odin is the god of war, wisdom and knowledge. From his palace in Asgard, he rules over gods and men, guiding brave warriors who have fallen in battle to Valhalla, where they are honored for their courage and prepared for Ragnarök, the final battle.

This matte white porcelain sculpture captures the essence of Odin, the majestic king of the gods in Norse mythology, ready to fight against the forces of chaos that threaten the world.

Every detail of this piece has been meticulously crafted. From the modelling of the anatomy to the ornamentation and the application of metallic lusters, this creation conveys a heightened realism, exemplifying consummate control over sculptural and decorative techniques in porcelain.

A particular mention is deserved for the expressive detail of Odin’s face, marked by a scar over his left eye, a symbol of the sacrifice he made at Mimir’s Well to gain infinite wisdom.

In this sculpture, Odin is depicted with his impressive arsenal of weapons, ornamented with ochre, gold and silver lusters: a helmet with long horns, a battle axe and a shield engraved with four dragons. The matte white porcelain accentuates the contrast between the imposing presence of this mythical figure and the delicate wealth of its finishes.

Lladro 01009766 Baby Dragon

 
















Weight 1.32 lb
Sculptor Raul Rubio
Height (in): 7.087
Width (in): 4.331
Length (in): 5.118
Finished Gloss and Matte

Porcelain creation inspired by the Dragon, one of the 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac.

Baby Dragon is the opening piece in the Baby Animals collection, a version of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac created from a more naïve, tender-hearted, and endearing perspective. Worth underscoring in this interpretation of the only mythological animal in the Chinese zodiac is the sculptural and ornamental work, which recreates the morphology and scales of the dragon’s skin with high precision. White was chosen for the whole decoration, with the sole exception of the eyes which are painted a deep black color in order to heighten the expressiveness. Another interesting feature is that the piece alternates areas of glazed and matte scales, an effect achieved by eliminating the glaze with a small soft sponge. This application of a very gestural technique with tiny strokes means that each Baby Dragon creation has a special unique finish. In China, people born under the sign of the Dragon (1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024) are called dragon babies and are believed to be imaginative, kind, vital and energetic.
