Set of 2 ceramic figurines “Cat Family”
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. The basic form is finished with fine decorative details which are then hardened in a first firing. 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.
Two cats wait curiously. Shape and facial expression are lovingly designed with unusual accents. Large cat: size 12 x 9 x 10 cm (h/w/d). Small cat: size 9 x 7 x 5 cm (h/w/d).
Both cats only available as a set.
Porcelain / Ceramics
Ceramic product made of kaolin, quartz and feldspar.
Porcelain is formed by turning or pressing and figurative objects are cast. Complex objects have to be cast in separated steps and sections and then “assembled”. After the moulding, the pieces are dried and “annealed” at about 900 °C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactures, the porcelain is painted by hand whereby each colour has to be fired individually and in compliance with narrow temperature tolerances.
Porcelain was invented in China and became widespread in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The first European porcelain factory was founded in Meissen, Germany in 1710.
Other famous European porcelain factories include Fürstenberg, Höchst, Schwarzburger Werkstätten, Lladró, Nymphenburg, KPM, Augarten, Sèvres, Limoges, Royal Copenhagen, Worcester. Individual factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps so that for the collecter it is easy to identify their origin.
Sculpture
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
