Kaisa stands out through its dark body, striking orange beak and playful facial details, creating a strong contrast between its simple form and expressive decoration. With its bold proportions, distinctive character and unmistakable sculptural expression, Kaisa is a particularly appealing example of Howard Smith's Parvi series and is highly sought after by collectors worldwide.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55140943659337,"sku":"866205","price":470.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/866205TGEV1.jpg?v=1787734108","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/kaisa-parvilintu-howard-smith-arabia","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
