table sculptures

An elegant Catrina skeleton stands atop any table or shelf, making a vibrant and fantastic addition to any home. The artisans at Mexico's Amonite Kutsari work together to craft this sculpture of ceramic. The Catrina's beautiful skirt is painted by hand in shades of boysenberry and strawberry, accented with beautiful leaf motifs and multicoloured flowers. Above the skirt, the Catrina wears a ruffled violet top.

Someone is going to miss some sausages on the table, as this cheeky cat has decided that barbecue is ready to enjoy. Crafted by Fitiev Valery Gennadievich from Uzbekistan, this ceramic cat figurine features a glazed body in a cheerful green hue. The face, crafted in a rosewood tone, depicts the kitten carefully chewing the meal of the day, making a fun and whimsical accent for your interiors.

In an homage to José Guadalupe Posada's "La Calavera Catrina", Mexico's Jorge Escamilla creates this unique sculpture. Wearing a bow tie and holding a tablet with numbers on it, the charming skeletal professor is crafted of clay and steel wire. The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait to lampoon Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

This beautiful retablo depicts a lively market scene exploding with colour. Peruvian artisan Julio Gallardo handcrafts the retablo frame from tornillo wood and paints it a creamy pale yellow with bold orange and blue flowers and warm brown trim. Inside, ceramic figurines, meticulously painted, manage a market stall selling woven textiles. Miniature woven cloth in bright colours and bold patterns hang above the market sellers. The retablo can be displayed on a table or hung on a wall by the metal hanger on the back.
