Lladró Day Dreaming at Sea Mermaid Golden Lustre Matte Porcelain Figurine 01008560
The most comforting spaces in a home are often anchored by objects that invite the mind to wander. This sculpture captures a quiet moment of absolute stillness, turning a mythical creature of the deep sea into a symbol of peaceful reflection. It forces a pause in your daily routine, capturing the weightless ease of a afternoon spent resting by the water.
STORY & MEANING
The "Day Dreaming at Sea" mermaid is a premier example of Lladró’s innovative Re-Deco philosophy. Sculpted by the celebrated figurative artist Raúl Rubio, this piece takes a classic, beloved motif from the Spanish archives and gives it a striking modern context. It represents a bold step forward for the Valencia workshop, where mid-century romanticism meets contemporary high-design.
Handcrafted entirely in Spain, the figurine builds desire through a masterclass in texture. The mermaid’s skin is left in a pure, velvety matte white porcelain, providing a soft backdrop that emphasizes her serene expression and anatomical grace. In contrast, her flowing tail and the delicate flowers in her hair are finished in a brilliant, metallic golden lustre. This rich gold paint is fired directly onto the porcelain, catching ambient light and reflecting a warm, magnetic shimmer across any surface it occupies.
By adding this little mermaid to your collection, you are investing in a legacy of European craftsmanship that dates back to 1953. It is an object that balances the playful fantasy of the ocean with the grown-up sophistication of metallic art. It stands as a confident trust anchor for your interior, created for the collector who values understated luxury and perfect sculptural execution.
