Slip-cast from fine earthenware, this sculptural piece catches the eye with its white body, short tail, and compact rounded form, which has earned it the affectionate nickname \"Emma the hen\" among collectors. Unlike traditional animal figures, the \"Parvi\" series does not depict birds realistically; instead, each bird is given its own name and playful personality, making \"Emma\" a unique and distinctive design object. As the \"Parvi\" series has increasingly gained value among collectors, well-preserved figures are highly sought-after finds today. Due to its distinctive artistic expression and stable demand in the design market, this piece offers collectors stable, long-term investment value. It is a museum-quality design object that unites fluid form with characterful aesthetics, making it a worthy addition to any discerning ceramic collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"copied-from\" content=\"wysihtml\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50193847845193,"sku":"837423","price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/37423TV1.jpg?v=1718191430","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/emma-parvilintu-howard-smith-arabia","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
