Detailed description
Set of 2 ceramic figures "Frog Family"
The effort that goes into these colourful ceramics is enormous. The base form is decorated with fine ornamental details, and 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.
The ceramic frogs inspire with their original design, reminiscent of mosaics, and the lovingly crafted details. Large frog: size 7 x 9 x 8.5 cm (h/w/d). Small frog: size 6 x 7 x 6.5 cm (h/w/d). Each piece is unique. Both frogs are only available as a set.

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 undergo an initial firing at about 900°C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactories, the porcelain is painted by hand, with each colour being fired individually under strict 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. Each factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps to indicate their origin.
