Lladro Archers Frieze Vase Sculpture – Limited Edition High Porcelain
Step back 2,500 years into the grandeur of the Persian Empire with the Lladro Archers Frieze Vase. This monumental work from the prestigious High Porcelain collection recreates the legendary Immortals—the elite archers of the Persian royal guard. Inspired by the famous decorative glazed brick friezes found in the Palace of Darius I at Susa, this vase is a breathtaking fusion of ancient historical majesty and world-class Spanish porcelain artistry.
Masterful Relief and High-Tech Craftsmanship This vase is an extraordinary example of High Porcelain, the highest category of excellence within the Lladro workshops. Each archer is meticulously sculpted in high relief, wrapping around the vessel in a rhythmic, powerful narrative. The figures are adorned with intricate bracelets, earrings, embroidered tunics, and colorful turbans, all brought to life through a sophisticated polychrome palette of green, brown, yellow, and white gloss lacquers that echo the original ancient tiles of Susa.
Why the Lladro Archers Frieze Vase is So Special
Elite Limited Edition: This is a strictly limited series of only 1,500 units worldwide. As a numbered edition, it represents a rare investment in one of the most technically challenging and culturally significant pieces ever produced by Lladro.
The Immortals Legend: The vase honors the Persian royal guard, soldiers who, according to the historian Herodotus, were raised on three fundamental pillars: horseback riding, archery, and telling the truth. This sculpture captures that noble spirit in a permanent, crystalline form.
Artisanal Pedigree: Designed by the renowned sculptor Marco Antonio Noguerón, every detail—from the tip of the spears to the texture of the quivers—is hand-carved and hand-painted at the City of Porcelain in Valencia, Spain.
Museum-Quality Statement: Standing nearly 24 inches tall, this vase possesses the architectural scale and cultural weight to serve as the centerpiece of a grand entryway, private gallery, or executive office.
Masterful Color Palette: The use of horizontal bands of polychrome tiles and soldiers with spears, quivers, and bows creates a visually stunning "frieze" effect that replicates the splendor of a lost civilization.
