Angeles Lladro, head of the creative committee and member of the administrative board of the company Lladró, brought to Moscow a vase from the collection with the telling name Naturofantastic. This is a kind of rarity: the production is single, and in Moscow the vase is presented in a single copy.

Angela Lladro says: "We wanted to create a thing on the theme of nature, and a magical, unusual thing. And we remembered about the sea - you can't find anything more mysterious and unusual in the natural world. Why do I say we a team of five people. And I can’t say that someone has invested more, someone less. Yes, it doesn’t matter, the main thing here is the result. not the same as it really is, not multicolored, but monochrome, in the shade in blue. We have - as an option - a vase made in green, its shade is similar to the natural shade of sea water. But I like the blue vase more. I like it because it is already a perfect fantasy!

Color is responsible for the feeling of mystery, unusual. But we also wanted to convey our joy, surprise and admiration for the wonders of nature and decided to express these strong emotions with the help of form. She really is very expressive and reminds me ... salute or fireworks. Look, the vase as if gradually rises, grows and - bang! - reveals the fireworks of marine plants.

A vase of this size is difficult to make - there are difficulties in firing (I will not tell you what). Even so, this thing is exclusive. In what interior do I imagine it? In no case should it be dense. (In a dense interior, a vase can become just one of the things, but special items and conditions need special ones.) This should be a spacious room with a lot of air. But not minimalism! Let it be beautiful modern eclecticism. The vase should be well lit, because porcelain generally requires good lighting. And it is better to place it low, for example, put on a table or console, so that the fireworks of sea wonders can be carefully considered from all sides. This is a subject that, among other things, is also interesting to consider. "
