The Arctic Bond | Artisan Penguin Figurine Family
This five-piece collection captures the spirit of the penguin: its devotion, playfulness, and quiet strength. Each sculpture is handmade in Uruguay using De Rosa’s signature process: hand-carved ceramic, glazed with enamel, and finished with gold and platinum detailing. The result is a set that feels personal and alive, each penguin a moment, each posture a story.
1. Penguin
Dimensions: 06×07×13 cm (2 3/8″×2 3/4″×5 1/8″) | Issue Year: 2018
This upright adult penguin stands tall with its beak slightly raised, as if surveying its frozen world. The body is textured with vertical strokes resembling feather lines. Deep blue enamel fills the flanks, trimmed with gold along the neck and wings, and warm cream tones cover the belly.
Its stance feels both solitary and watchful. It suggests dignity, patience, and protection; a guardian figure, ready to endure. Symbolically, the penguin is often linked to adaptability, endurance, and deep family loyalty. This figurine captures all of that without overstatement.
2. Baby Penguin
Dimensions: 08×05×07 cm (3 1/8″×1 7/8″×2 3/4″) | Issue Year: 2017
Rounder and softer, the baby penguin is full of innocence. Its downy texture is captured through layered grooves and light brushing. Shades of ivory and gentle grey are warmed by gold-touched wings and feet.
Its wide eyes and gentle shape bring an emotional softness to the collection. It represents newness... unsteady beginnings, curiosity, and the need for care.
3. Penguin With Baby
Dimensions: 08×08×06 cm (3 1/8″×3 1/8″×2 3/8″) | Issue Year: 2007
This sculpture shows a tender moment. The adult penguin lowers its head toward the chick cradled between its feet. The posture is intimate and sheltering. The chick looks upward, with its body huddled securely in a protective arc.
The colors are darker: richer blacks and bronzed golds, lending the piece gravity. More than just a figurine, this one speaks to closeness, reliance, and the quiet weight of responsibility. In aesthetic terms, it anchors the collection emotionally.
4. Baby Penguin Walking
Dimensions: 07×05×08 cm (2 3/4″×1 7/8″×3 1/8″) | Issue Year: 2007
This piece shows motion. One flipper swings outward. Its rounded feet suggest a slow, forward waddle. The patterning is layered (scales, stripes, swirls) but not busy. Gold detail appears on the beak and edge of the wing, drawing attention to the direction of movement.
This penguin adds balance to the set. It's not resting or standing. It’s exploring. It’s the moment between the comfort of home and the challenge of what’s ahead.
5. Baby Penguin Sliding
Dimensions: 08×07×05 cm (3 1/8″×2 3/4″×1 7/8″) | Issue Year: 2007
The only fully horizontal figure in the bundle, this penguin captures play. Its head is tilted back in joy. Its flippers are tucked in, and the body seems mid-glide. The sculpted surface curves gently with the motion.
This piece brings lightness. Among the heavier emotional tones of care and protection, it adds spontaneity. Not all beauty is formal. Some of it slides by on its belly, laughing in the snow.
This bundle is a portrait of a family, not through faces or words, but through stance and presence. Penguins are creatures of cold places, but everything about these figurines is warm. Their posture, their gaze, their closeness - they all speak to connection.
The contrast in poses builds a narrative. You see stillness, shelter, growth, movement, and play. The finishes - deep blues, creamy whites, speckled greys, and gold trims - capture the beauty of a restrained palette. The craftsmanship is serious, but the subject matter is soft.
Symbolically, penguins embody loyalty, endurance, and the strength of bonds formed in the harshest conditions. This collection celebrates those qualities with grace.
