Porcelain Story

Let's try to enjoy the beauty of this wonderful composition.

I should note that there are two such works in our collection. They are very similar. But not at all is the same. Firstly, because they were created at different times. Moreover, with a difference of a good ten years. Secondly, because the development of the latest technologies in porcelain production has given sculptors new opportunities to realize their fantasies.

Of course, it is most interesting to observe them in comparison. Like in the forgotten game ''find so many differences''. Still, the girls do not have a portrait resemblance. And large - almost life-size - horse muzzles vary markedly. And the flowers in the girl's hair are completely different.

One of the "chips" of this Spanish manufactory has always been a reference to the fact that when the release of a limited series ends (and, depending on the number of items and the complexity of working on each composition, this can sometimes stretch for years), the industrial forms of the main fragments of the product are destroyed. After all, I already told you that not the entire composition is made by hand, but only its most subtle details.

So, to be honest, I was more than once embarrassed by the repetitions of plots in some iconic, vivid, memorable works, when 10-15 years after the end of the release of a limited series, almost the same plot composition suddenly appeared. And the difference was only in a few new minor details or in new materials that the author decided to use in a type of new product. However, this question is quite specific. And, despite my embarrassment, I sometimes still acquired a new interpretation of a memorable work. So to speak, for comparison.

And I don't regret it. Because in this comparison, indeed, sometimes completely new motives of the work are revealed, which, over the years of habitual contemplation, suddenly opens up from an unexpected side. So it was in the case of this composition.
