Hector the strongman ceramic hand crafted sculpture

With detailed nautical tattoos and a bold handlebar moustache, Hector captures the spirit of strength wrapped in gentle kindness. This striking ceramic sculpture blends rugged charm with heartfelt warmth, making him a standout piece in any collection.

Hector is the circus’s legendary strongman — all tattoos, a grand handlebar moustache, and an unmistakable macho presence. But beneath that tough exterior beats the heart of a gentle soul who finds peace in the rhythm of the sea. When the crowds fade and the lights dim, Hector dreams of salty waves and quiet shores

Meticulously hand-built and delicately hand-painted, each piece is a true original—crafted from fine white earthenware clay and enriched with carefully layered slip colours. The process includes multiple firings, finished with a lustrous glaze that enhances its character. No two pieces are ever the same—each one is a refined testament to thoughtful craftsmanship and individual expression.
