ORIENTAL VASE SCULPTURE RED

Of all the collector’s pieces in Lladró’s limited edition portfolio, the ORIENTAL VASE SCULPTURE RED stands among the most technically demanding. Produced by the brand’s specialist Dpto. Ornamentación and limited to just 250 examples worldwide, it draws directly from the vocabulary of imperial Chinese ceramics — dragon handles, chrysanthemum scrollwork, cloud-wave banding, and an oxblood-red glaze — and reinterprets it through Lladró’s most sophisticated combination of gloss and metallic luster finishes.

Two Registers, Entirely Different in Character

The vase is composed across two visually distinct zones separated by a Greek key border. The upper section — the neck and shoulder — is rendered in the classic blue-and-white style of Chinese export porcelain: white ground with hand-painted blue scrolling foliage and deep crimson chrysanthemum medallions, crowned at the rim with a rich cobalt wave band. Two three-dimensional dragon art sculptures for sale, finished in platinum-silver metallic luster, emerge from either side of the shoulder, climbing toward the flared rim as though ascending from the vessel itself. Their scales, claws, and expressions are rendered in full sculptural detail — they are not decorations on the surface but characters in the composition.

The body shifts entirely in tone and technique. Over a deep oxblood-crimson ground, dense raised-relief scrollwork in silver metallic luster covers the entire surface — chrysanthemum blooms, interlocking vine stems, and lotus motifs that would require hours of individual hand-work to apply. At the base of the body, a row of arched ogee panels in silver and white adds a final band of architectural structure before the piece settles onto its carved dark wood plinth.
