Description
This is a part of Lladro's Parrot Party Collection, known for its originality and preciousness. The refined forms of the pieces contrast with the detailed decoration of the birds, the common element running through the whole series. The plumage of the various species has been minutely reproduced, almost bringing the birds to life on the original branches that emerge from a vase, a tray or a vanity mirror.
The mirror is mounted on a black lacquered wooden base that provides greater stability and safety for holding the mirror to the porcelain piece.
- Size: 14.5 inches tall x 10.75 inches wide
- Released In 2012
- Genuine Lladro Fine Porcelain
- Handmade in Valencia Spain
Special Instructions
Courtesy of the Caceres Family.
Every Lladro piece of work is the result of a laborious artistic process. Each Lladro creation begins with an artistic inspiration. The sculptor then makes the first sketch of the new figure in clay, which is examined and approved by the Creativity Committee, made up by many members, one of whom comes from the Lladro family. The sketch, in clay, is reproduced in plaster to provide the first mold, which will in turn become the definitive mold for the porcelain figurine. Once the crafting process finishes, the sculpture goes through several quality controls. Most pieces make their way successfully to the end of the process, and those that do not comply with Lladro's quality standards are destroyed.
