Lladró's Spartan: The Warrior Spirit in Ancient Greece

In This Video: The pop-culture dramatization of the Battle of Thermopylae in Zack Snyder’s film ‘300’ has ingrained in impressionable young minds that Spartans are all rosy-white-skinned, Anglo-Saxon-faced and excessively muscular, but that is not entirely true. Sparta was the main settlement of a larger area known as Lacedaemon in Greece, and was unique in ancient Greece for the Spartan Hoplites' unbreakable discipline and obedience. Their years of military training even in peace times also gave them the leadership advantage, where single officers could command several hundred men - a feat other Greek armies cannot achieve.
This black porcelain sculpture depicts one of those brave soldiers equipped with his spectacular helmet with plumes, a mask-which can be placed or removed to reveal the warrior's face thanks to a magnet system-shield, lance and armour.

Lladró is a luxury porcelain maker founded by brothers Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladró in 1953. The brothers first created homeware items such as vases and jugs, but became globally famous in the mid-1950s for figurines and sculptures. The brand's unique glazes and a proprietary single firing process created an appearance and style unique to Lladró that became collectable. Lladró pieces exude a quiet grandeur showcased by the finest details and finishing that all porcelain artists aspire to achieve. Now, collectors covet both Lladró's traditional pieces and contemporary styles, as the brand's popularity continues to expand their footprint globally.
