The legend goes that Saraswati was so beautiful that Brahma, her husband, had four heads so that he could always see her from any angle. Which is what we too would like in order to contemplate this porcelain recreation of the Hindu goddess of wisdom and learning with her symbols and attributes.
High Porcelain is an aesthetic category at Lladró. The creations in this collection are the finest examples of the artistic, creative and technical skills of the brand’s artists. The challenge of taking on such complex creations is further heightened by the unique style, the quality of the porcelain, the range of colors, the spectacular formats, the difficult composition and the virtuoso decoration.
If there is one thing that stands out above all others about this sculpture, it is the sumptuous ornamentation of all the different elements, ranging from the fabulous crown to the texture of her clothing, her headdress and jewelry, as well as the peacock feathers, painted by hand, one by one, and the flowers in the garland, handcrafted petal by petal.
Saraswati is sitting on a large lotus flower, preaching the message that “knowledge is the path to freedom”. Hindus believe that girls named after Saraswati will be successful at school. In this creation, Lladró artists have conveyed the profound spirituality of a goddess venerated in schools because she symbolizes the “power of words” and the magic of language. Saraswati is a limited edition of 720 units.

Also worth noting is the bright color. In fact, some of the colors were created especially for this piece. That is the case, for instance, of the pistachio used in the garland, the turquoise in the peacock and the orange and green in the sari. Besides, highly varied and complex decorative techniques were applied, as one can note in the profusion of golden luster, both matte and glazed.
Spirit of India collection, captures the values and the attributes of the ornate and enthralling wonders of the Hindu iconography.
