AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A specially handmade chess set crafted in glazed ceramic.
The chess pieces are designed as stylized busts of historical/Renaissance figures, giving this set a pronounced sculptural and decorative character.

The set consists of a complete 32-piece collection in black and white. Each piece is individually modeled and hand-glazed, resulting in small variations visible – characteristic of studio ceramics.

This chess set is not only suitable for playing, but also highly decorative as a design object or display set.
