A creation in matte black porcelain inspired by the ancient shōgun of feudal Japan, decorated with gold luster engravings and copper accents that stand out against the dark background.

Silence speaks, it is the pause before movement, the calm that comes before action. From that idea comes this creation inspired by the ancient shōgun, supreme commanders of the army in feudal Japan and the highest rank a samurai could achieve. This piece is a fragment of history that captures the essence of Bushidō, the ethical and moral code that guided their lives and emphasized self-mastery.

Shogun is handcrafted in matte black porcelain and symbolizes the restrained strength and inner discipline of the Japanese warrior. Standing 68 cm tall, the black porcelain evokes both darkness and the cold steel of the samurai armor, a sophisticated finish that absorbs light and enhances form.

Every line of his attire has been hand-engraved by expert artisans, capturing the complex texture of the kimono and the tension of his muscles. The dragon etched into the garment, the geometric patterns along the edges, and the sword hilts are finished with a subtle gleam of gold and copper luster. These metallic touches add visual richness and contrast. True to tradition, the warrior carries his daishō (the pair of samurai swords, katana and wakizashi), a symbol of his status and his warrior’s soul.

Shogun is a reflection on mastery. A creation that, in times of noise, reminds us of the importance of cultivating serenity and inner strength.

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.

Finished Matte
Height (in) 28.74
Width (in) 13.386
Length (in) 10.236
Porcelain Type Matte
Sculptor Ernest Massuet

A spectacular sculpture made in black porcelain, inspired by the legendary gladiators of the Roman empire.

This creation represents with amazing faithfulness and detail the figure of a gladiator. Warriors who defended their lives fighting against other gladiators or against wild beasts to entertainment the public in the Roman arena. This sculpture speaks of men who defended their life with honor and fortitude, despite the circumstances they had to endure. Made in black porcelain, it is decorated with copper, dark grey and black enamels with metallic effects, combined with the aged silver luster in the armor. The shield is decorated with black luster with marble effect and the helmet is also decorated with aged silver luster. The sword, which almost looks like real metal, is porcelain. In addition, the piece comes with a removable metal mask covering the gladiator’s face which is held in place by an ingenious system of magnets. A truly unique work, striking for both its size and for the sculptural treatment.

Lladro 01009230 SAMURAI WARRIOR

 








Finished Stoneware
Height (in): 23.622
Width (in): 17.323
Length (in): 9.449
Weight 16.31 lb
Sculptor Alfredo Llorens

Samurai Warrior porcelain figurine in black stoneware with blue enamels and earth tones with a steel catana.

Lladró has taken inspiration from the warriors of Japanese premodern era to create an imposing sculpture that expresses the qualities that defined these protective guardians: restraint and strength. Samurai Warrior is made of stoneware, an ideal material for large creations, and decorated with enamels. When crystallised in the oven, these pigments take on a wealth of nuances that are different in each piece, so that each figure is unique and cannot be replicated. The piece is completed by the decorators' work on the armour, the helmet and the saya, engraved entirely by hand.

Porcelain Type Matte and metallic luster

Porcelain sculpture of Spartan, the famous warriors of ancient Greece.

When King Leonidas and the three hundred Spartan Hoplites under his command held off the Persian army at the Thermopylae pass, the courage and sacrifice of these Greek warriors entered into the realm of legend for evermore. This black porcelain sculpture depicts one of those brave soldiers equipped with his spectacular helmet with plumes, a mask—which can be placed or removed to reveal the warrior’s face thanks to a magnet system—shield, lance and armor. The wealth of detail, added to the decoration, the precisely modelled anatomy and the meticulous ornamentation demonstrate an extraordinary degree of virtuosity. Made in black porcelain and decorated with metallic copper, blue and black enamels. The shield is painted with black luster with a marble effect while the helmet is decorated with aged silver luster. The result is a striking and powerful figure that is at once noble and elegant.
