Slip-cast from hard faience and finished with a matte glaze, this sculptural piece catches the eye with its bold silhouette, black body, and contrasting orange and white details. Unlike traditional animal figures, the \"Parvi\" series does not depict birds realistically; instead, each bird is given its own name and playful personality, making \"Timo\" a unique 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54970218086729,"sku":"801544","price":210.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/801544TGEV1.jpg?v=1785405847","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/timo-parvilintu-howard-smith-arabia-1","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
