Standing Wise Man Statue by Dellarte Ceramics Hand-Painted 20 cm. This nativity scene figurine depicts one of the Wise Men standing upright, in the solemn act of offering a golden casket, symbolizing one of the three gifts brought to Baby Jesus. The petrol green cloak, adorned with refined 10% pure gold details, adds movement and nobility to the figure, entirely crafted from Faenza ceramic and carefully hand-painted. Each figurine is carefully created, starting with pouring liquid clay, slip, into plaster molds to obtain the shape, followed by an initial firing at 1000°C, then proceeding to decoration with non-toxic glazes and a dip in crystalline. After a second firing at 920°C, 10% pure gold leaf is applied, requiring a further final firing at 720°C. This creation is signed by Dellarte Ceramics, a family-run artisanal business with over 20 years of experience. Founded by Paola Zaghi, a former professor of Art History and Painting Design, the company is distinguished by the fusion of artistic knowledge and personal sensitivity. Each piece tells a story of exploration, beauty, and devotion.
