Mickey Total Black Sculpture (Lladro Special Order)

Mickey Total Black affords an unexpected vision of one of the most significant characters in popular culture. Mickey Mouse, the world’s most famous mouse, was the first and best known of the many creations in the Disney universe. Ever since, he has become a pop icon, one of the most recognizable and best-loved figures by the public.

In this version, Mickey is faithfully depicted but with a bold aesthetic treatment. It plays with the effects produced by the combination of the matte black color of the head, trousers, and faceted base with the glazed finish of the ears and body. The note of color comes in the delicate white porcelain flower, modeled by hand, petal by petal, on Mickey’s chest. This little detail makes Mickey even more charming and adds a touch of humor and sophistication.

Mickey appeared for the first time in short animated cartoons premiered in 1928. Walt Disney himself provided the voice of the little mouse, which quickly became incredibly popular. His adventures with his friends Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto were the foundation on which Disney built a vast media and entertainment empire. Since then, with his big round ears and infectious smile, Mickey Mouse has become one of the world’s most instantly recognizable icons, reproduced millions upon millions of times.
