The Gallery's Perspective
A sense of pageant and theatrical delight greets you at first glance: figures descend marble steps under a draped, jewel-toned canopy as a gondola waits at the water’s edge. The scene reads like a stage set—costumed characters from the commedia dell’arte, musicians and masked revelers—each rendered with delicate attention to gesture and expression. Notice the fine, glossy porcelain finish that gives the costumes a soft sheen and the tiny, handmade flowers and accessories that punctuate collars, hats and the gondola’s garlands. The composition balances motion and repose: a harlequin’s playful reach contrasts with the poised grace of a woman in powder-blue, while the lamppost and arch frame the group and anchor the lively tableau. It’s both ornate and intimate, a Baroque little world of celebration where color, costume and curving forms create warmth and theatrical charm you can enjoy from every angle.

About Carnival in Venice Sculpture
Carnival in Venice Sculpture. Limited Edition
Limited edition sculpture of the Venice Carnival in gloss finish porcelain, adorned with handmade flowers and accessories in various colours. - The Venice Carnival, the most romantic and sophisticated in the world, is the theme chosen by Lladró for the creation of its greatest artistic and technical challenge undertaken to date; a monumental, exquisitely crafted Baroque work. This High Porcelain creation, executed in a limited edition of only 100 pieces, is designed to be admired from all angles, just as Venice during the height of Carnival. Its figures are inspired by the Italian commedia dell'arte: Harlequin, Colombina, Pantalone, Pierrot, Scaramouche ... all surrounded by the richest of scenes. It is a milestone in the history of porcelain art, whose creative process involved five years of research and testing. The work of 35 artists and 22,000 hours were invested, along with around 450 fragments, in order to breathe life into this new creation of 14 figures.

Lladro was founded in 1953 when Juan, Jose, and Vicente, three brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great artistic talent, formed a small family company in the Valencian village of Almacera, Spain. Since then, Lladro has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying continual growth. The company management has remained in the hands of the Lladro family, the owners of the firm, since its inception.
The creative team started out by adapting styles from past eras, but it was not long before certain characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was to become the unique Lladro style.
