Numbered glossy porcelain sculpture of a gondola with young bride and groom enjoying a walk and gondolier in typical striped t-shirt and straw hat attire.
In the 19th century, wealthy young people would spend their honeymoons travelling through Old Europe. Italy was a destination full of classic art and romance. In this piece, Lladró portrays one of these couples, dressed in the fashion of their time, enjoying a ride in a Venetian gondola. Locating him firmly in Venice, Italy, the gondolier appears in the traditional striped shirt and straw hat. A piece so complex, with several characters, details in the scene, engravings and porcelain flowers, it makes for one of the best gifts for a wedding.
Lladró is the leader in luxury porcelain since 1953 and have developed proprietary processes that resulted in a wide range of products and styles that is unparalleled in the world of porcelain. The brand still makes every piece in their workshop in Valencia, Spain.
