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, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
