Macaws are one of the world’s most spectacular and beautiful birds, famous for the striking coloring of their feathers, which fill the tropical rain forests where they live with light and color. This series of vases is expanded with this latest addition featuring a macaw with golden beak and claws. The precious treatment of the bird and the wealth of detail of its feathering are combined with the deliberately simple design of the vase itself using geometric lines. The decoration is noteworthy for the red color applied in degraded tones, the metallic grey and the deep blue of the bird’s head. Macaw Vase is not just functional and decorative but is also an appeal to preserve these fantastic, colorful birds, an endangered species under threat of extinction. Let’s protect life with art.

About Lladro
In 1953 Juan, José and Vicente Lladró made their first porcelain creations in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). In 1969 their facility in the City of Porcelain (Valencia) was completed and today is still home to the creative process and production of some of the highest artistic and technical quality porcelain in the world. Lladro's production innovations not only in the design and style of the figurines but also in the firing techniques have earned them many acknowledgements and awards.
In the 1990's Lladro was awarded the Príncipe Felipe awards for Internationalization, Competitiveness and Renown Brand Management. Lladro figurines and sculptures have collectors around the world and they can also be seen in the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, the Valencia Pavilion in the Universal Show of Seville, as well as in the Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo.
