Detailed description

Set of 2 ceramic figures "White Elephant and Baby"

They originate from Uruguay and are among the most beautiful examples of folk art there. The effort that goes into these colourful ceramics is enormous. In a first step, the still soft cast base form is decorated with fine ornamental details. The first firing hardens it, then it is painted - again by hand - and decorative enamel glazes are applied. After further kiln cycles, gilding and platinum elements are finally applied - creating individual testimonies of the close connection between Latin American folk art and handicraft at the highest level. Each piece is unique.

These noble ceramic figures were handmade with great effort. The shiny surface, the vibrant colours, and the unusual shape make each figurine unique. Handmade unique pieces of enamelled ceramic with numerous gildings. Size white elephant 10 x 11 x 6 cm (h/w/d) and white elephant baby 6 x 9 x 5 cm (h/w/d).
