These Korean porcelain figurines are created by a husband and wife team in the forests of Jeju island. Each creation is taken from their imagination, telling stories composed of one or two characters with beautiful execution and craftsmanship. They toe the line between reality and fantasy, reminiscent of antique porcelain dolls but with a slightly contemporary touch. The process of making each figurine takes over a month, from initial sketch to final product and requires significant expertise in porcelain making, as well as attention to detail in the painterly style and creative tales they tell.
Item details: A young girl hugs with her small pony, who nuzzles affectionately into her neck. They are constant companions, and the minutely painted details resonate with warmth. The crinkled corners of the pony's eyes, and the slight upturn at it's mouth make it seem like a smile.
