Hand-Painted Limoges Porcelain Lion Ashtray and Tray with Malachite and Tobacco Leaf Background
The G.P.GRANT PORTAL Lion transforms the brand’s signature crown-and-cube emblem into an artistic gateway where strength, nature and craftsmanship meet. The cube becomes a portal from which the lion emerges, creating a dynamic connection between the emblem and the central figure of the composition.
The lion is not depicted as a separate illustration but as an integral part of the portal itself. Its presence extends beyond the boundaries of the cube, creating depth and movement while reinforcing the idea of the G.P.GRANT PORTAL as a passage between reality and an imagined artistic world.
The background combines the deep green character of malachite with the organic structure of tobacco leaves. The mineral patterns of the stone flow together with natural botanical forms, creating a unified environment where gemstone and nature become a single artistic landscape.
Created on Limoges porcelain, this porcelain artwork reflects the tradition of fine French porcelain decoration, combining artistic decoration with hand-painted and gold accents. Gold painting highlights selected elements of the composition, enhancing the contrast between the lion, the portal and the rich green mineral background.
Available as a porcelain ashtray or porcelain tray, this unique design offers two presentation formats for the same original artwork. Each version preserves the complete hand-painted composition and the distinctive visual identity of the G.P.GRANT PORTAL collection.
Handcrafted from Limoges porcelain and finished in Paris, France, this unique edition represents the combination of traditional porcelain artistry, natural inspiration and contemporary collectible design.
