For these two compositions, the Lladró artists have taken
their inspiration from the daruma, the Japanese good luck
charm that symbolizes a desired goal. Traditionally made in
cardboard, this talisman was then burnt in an act of gratitude
once the desire had been fulfilled.
Unlike the original daruma, these creations are made in
glazed porcelain and symbolize both goals achieved and new
ones yet to be set. For the decoration, it was decided to create
a version in pink and another in blue, with touches of golden
luster. Both versions boast painstaking floral ornamentation,
etched by hand, and have the word Happiness written in
traditional Japanese characters.
