Creation process:
Each figurine is a hand-painted unique piece.
Carefully heated at 800°C, the porcelain acquires a mirror-smooth surface and becomes very hard so that no cracking or crazing can occur. In a traditional porcelain painting, each figure is lovingly decorated with cheerful colors. This is done entirely by hand, with a brush and not with a standard layer of foil. Each figure is therefore slightly different and unmistakably unique.

Measures:
H: 17 cm
L:15 cm
W:11,5 cm
