Lladro Francesco Catala 18th Century Coach Porcelain School of Vatala Ltd Ed

About the Item

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY “Carroza Siglo XVIII” is the Spanish name for this exquisitely rendered 18th century coach by the Spanish sculptor, Francisco Catala, a work that retails new for $48,000. The finish is High Porcelain and the colors though rich are soft. The piece was produced by the company, Lladro, creator of fine art porcelain figurines and made in Spain. The craftsmanship is of a high level of perfection. There are two figures in the coach, three coachmen and four horses. The coach was modeled after a Baroque-style Berlin Coach inspired by original models housed in the prestigious Carriages Museum in Lisbon, Spain. Everything in this limited edition of 500 pieces is carefully looked after, down to the tiniest detail: the servants' uniforms, the costumes of the couple and, above all, the decoration of the carriage. Around fifty different colors are used in the ornamentation of meticulous work by the artists in the Lladro High Porcelain Workshop. Creating each piece requires the involvement of over twenty-five different experts who dedicate a total of around 300 hours to the task. The result is a unique piece which, once fired, measures over one meter long and weighs around fifty pounds. These are just a few of the numbers that give some idea of its complexity and partly explain the awe it inspires. Spanish Name: CARROZA SIGLO XVIII Sculptor: Francisco Catalá Photos by PD Rearick

    By Royal Bayreuth
    Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
    Royal Bayreuth Mouse Pitcher is glazed in soft grays with sparkling red eyes. This piece is extremely rare. The size being 8.5 inches high when normally this mouse is 6 inches. The bottom is marked: "Registered." The Royal Bayreuth factory has been the world's unparalleled leader in the production of porcelain for over 200 years, As the oldest Bavarian china firm under private ownership, the factory still stands like a fortress on a hill in the little village of Tettau. It was founded in 1794 in the Thuringian Hills, adjacent to what at one time was known as the East German border. Though delicate to the touch, it's durability makes it last for hundreds of years. The porcelain factory has survived a number of troublesome events, including the Napoleonic-Franco Prussian turmoil, two World Wars, numerous changes in management and ownership, and the great fire of 1897 which destroyed a number of important records and molds. The factory had its roots planted in 1792, when the famous, naturalist and botanist, Alexander von Humboldt, also an expert German geologist, was appointed by the king to research a possible factory site. The king desired a porcelain factory in the Thuringia province, and commanded von Humboldt to find the ideal location and personnel. After a lengthy study, von Humboldt reported to the king that Tettau should be the site of the factory and recommended that Johann Schmidt and Wilhelm Grenier be awarded the permit. By 1794, the factor was open for business. Anytime you see the Royal Bayreuth logo, you will see 1794 as the official date of commencement operations. Dinnerware, dining accessories, coffee and tea sets have been the company's main product line through the years. Just as fascinating are the wide number of collector items that the factory has produced. Included among these are many interesting pieces such as: figurals, rose tapestry...
