The little prince, Antoine de Saint Exupèry's immortal creation, is much more than a children's book. Due to its poetic and literary quality, it has become a 20th century classic for readers of all ages. This piece, based on the writer's own illustrations, is finished in glossy porcelain, except for the face and hands which are finished in matte porcelain. The sword is rhodium-plated brass and the stars on the prince's shoulders are gold-plated brass.
