Special feature(s) / Context / About the artist:

The effort that goes into creating these colorful ceramics is enormous. As a first step, the cast, still-soft form is adorned with delicate decorative details. A first firing hardens them, then they are hand-painted and finished with decorative enamel glazes. After further firings, gilding and platinum elements are applied – resulting in unique pieces that reflect the close connection between Latin American folk art and craftsmanship of the highest caliber.
