Collectible zoomorphic lambik "Lion"

Collection zoomorphic lembyk "Lion" - Opishnya, workshop of the Shkurpel family.

Product description:
We offer an exclusive art object and a rare collector's item - a majestic zoomorphic artistic lembyk (figurative vessel-sculpture) in the form of a Lion.
This monumental work was created by hand in the world-famous pottery capital of Ukraine - the village of Opishnya, in the family workshop of the famous hereditary masters Shkurpel (Olexandr and Anatoliy Shkurpela).
The product has the classic form of a traditional Ukrainian lembyk - a festive figured vessel for drinks, distinguished by complex zoomorphic plasticity. The figure of a lion in Ukrainian folk pottery traditionally personifies the guardianship of the home, courage, leadership and family prosperity.

Features of execution:
Textured molding: The entire surface of the lion's body is covered with a unique hand-made "curly" texture that reproduces the animal's thick mane and fur, which is the hallmark of the Opishny zoomorphic style.
Author's glaze: The product is covered with a premium, deep emerald green glaze (glaze). The glossy surface plays luxuriously with light, favorably emphasizing each relief element and turning the sculpture into the main visual center of a modern or classic interior.
Exclusive size: The massive interior size makes this lembik a museum and exhibition value that will only become more valuable over the years.
A real find for connoisseurs of Ukrainian ethnostyle, collectors of highly artistic majolica and authentic modern art with deep roots.
