Handmade ceramic pendant, crafted and enameled by hand, decorated with a Marian-inspired female bust in relief. The piece combines turquoise blue, black, and white glazes with golden highlights, creating a composition of great expressive power and personality.

Its aesthetic corresponds to European art ceramics of the second half of the 20th century, when numerous workshops reinterpreted religious iconography with a modern and expressionistic language. The stylized face, light blue eyes, veil with golden details, and handmade modeling make this pendant a highly decorative and unique piece.

A handmade piece with a distinctive personality, ideal for collectors of artistic ceramics, designer jewelry, or for those seeking a unique pendant with Marian inspiration and modernist aesthetics.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
