VENETIAN FANTASY WOMAN SCULPTURE

The VENETIAN FANTASY WOMAN SCULPTURE is one of the most ambitious sculptural pieces to emerge from Lladró’s prestigious High Porcelain workshop — a collector’s object that draws directly from the mystery, romanticism, and theatrical spectacle of the Venetian Carnival. Sculpted by Francisco Polope and limited to 750 units worldwide, it occupies a rare category: a piece of fine porcelain that is also a statement of cultural heritage.

A VENETIAN FANTASY WOMAN SCULPTURE at the Heart of the Piece

The focal point of this figurative bust sculpture is the extraordinary floral headdress — described by Lladró’s own High Porcelain artisans as a virtuoso exercise in the possibilities of the medium. Individually hand-formed flowers in pink, peach, ivory, and blue are layered across the crown alongside hand-painted leaves and intricate woven details that replicate fabric, ribbon, and tassel with absolute conviction. A blue tasseled ornamental hat, rendered in fine porcelain with gold trim and a purple-grey satin finish, adds both height and theatrical drama. The result is a headdress that rivals the real Venetian costumes that inspired it. Below the crown, the fVENETIAN FANTASY WOMAN SCULPTURE — in silver-white with delicate scroll detail — anchors the composition with the air of mystery that defines the Carnival tradition. The bust’s garment, worked in scrolling blue porcelain with gold highlights and finished at the collar with a ruched white ruff and a hand-applied pink rose, completes a piece of outstanding decorative range.
