Lladró, the venerable Spanish maker of luxury porcelain figurines and sculptures, has expanded their Hinduism-themed ‘The Spirit of India’ collection with the addition of a new sculpture entitled ‘Goddess Lakshmi’. Designed by veteran Lladró sculptor Francisco Polope, ‘Goddess Lakshmi’ joins a host of other Hindu-influenced sculptures including Radha Krishna, Rama Sita, Lord Krishna, Indian Dance and Sacred Cow.
The sculpture was unveiled by Lladró president Rosa Lladró at the company’s boutique in Punjagutta, India. She offered these thoughts at the event, “We draw inspiration from various cultures and traditions capturing the essence of it in the work of art. We have a group of artists and in-house and consultant designers. However, the Spirit of India collection is the reflection of Indian culture. We in Spain also have the gods like in India and very much understand praying and symbolism. We have a huge collection of themes which are global in nature. For instance, a piece which represents mother and child is the symbol of love. Everybody in the world understands it. There is also a special community of people who love this art all around the world and we try to connect them with the best of porcelain sculptures.”
Measuring 19″ x 12-1/4″, ‘Goddess Lakshmi’ is quite visually striking and is among Lladró’s larger pieces. Additionally, only 720 pieces of the distinctive porcelain sculpture will be produced making this a particularly scarce Lladro sculpture.
