More information here: https://www.maxmodolo.com/fan-art Porcelain sculpture. Total weight of the piece: 0.7 kg Dimensions with base: 20x14x28 cm h Batman Mask – The Dark Knight Porcelain sculpture with real gold details Batman Mask (The Dark Knight) Rare and evocative ceramic sculpture that reproduces the Batman mask in the iconic version from the film The Dark Knight. The piece is entirely coated with an intense crackled turquoise glaze, characterized by a dense and luminous network of craquelure that gives depth and a vitreous, glassy effect to the surface. Elegant flowing purple glaze drips run along the pointed ears, creating a dynamic and painterly movement, producing a strong chromatic contrast with the turquoise background. The tri-priming decoration further enriches the work with motifs reminiscent of traditional Japanese decorative art: on the skull, elegant overlapping scales (uroko motif) painted in intense red; at the lower part, refined stylized floral elements (inspired by peonies and classic botanical motifs) with leaves and petals outlined with precision. The eyes are made in true lustre gold (22-24 karat), with red details, catching and reflecting light to give great expressive intensity. The lower border is enriched with a refined band of rhinestones (crystals in gold and blue/purple tones), which adds a precious and luminous touch to the mask’s profile. The work combines traditional glazing techniques (craquelé and drips) with refined tri-priming processes using true gold lustre and special colors, resulting in a unique piece of strong aesthetic impact and high artisanal quality. Mounted on a blue wooden base with a gilded metal support. Ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramic art, pop art, and unique design pieces. Notes: Unique high-value decorative piece, perfect for collectors of cinematic memorabilia, Batman enthusiasts, and lovers of contemporary artistic ceramics. The combination of the character’s iconic form and the precious porcelain execution with triplet gold lustre makes this object particularly refined and sought-after. insured shipping with professional packaging.
