Porcelain creation inspired by the Snake, one of the 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac.
Baby Snake belongs to the Baby Animals collection, a charming fun version of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The animals which have the power to shape the character and even the fate of people born under their influence are portrayed from a more child-like optic. These depictions bring us closer to the age-old tradition of Chinese culture, with all its mystery and fascination, in a highly personal way.
Baby Snake is notable for the expressive face and the intensity of its gaze. The twisted body of the snake and the scales of its skin showcase the sculptural work and highly detailed ornamentation. White was chosen for the decoration, except for the large eyes which are painted a deep black color to accentuate the expressiveness. Another noteworthy detail is that the piece alternates glazed scales with others in a matte finish, which is achieved by softly eliminating the glaze with a small sponge. This application of little touches makes each Baby Snake unique and unrepeatable.
In China, people born under the sign of the Snake (1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025) are believed to be very intuitive, intelligent, materialist, courageous and communicative. The Chinese zodiac, also known as Sheng Xiao, is an integral part of Chinese culture. This system of astrology is based on a twelve-year cycle, each one represented by an animal with its own symbolism and characteristics.
