Description from the seller
This statuette is certainly the rarest and most sought-after by Tintin universe collectors from Leblon Delienne: the transparent version of the condor, sculpted in 1993 by Marie Leblon.
Planned to be edited in 50 copies, fewer than fifteen were actually produced due to its fragility.
Made in translucent resin, the statuette changes color depending on the light intensity, shifting from yellow to green, with an appearance very close to jade that might lead one to think it is glass.
The condition is impeccable: no breakage, cracks, or other flaws.
Dimensions identical to the classic color condor: about 61 cm (wingspan) x 33 cm (height) x 25 cm (depth). Supplied with the original black steel stand, a letter from Leblon Delienne to the retailer of the time certifying its authenticity, and the original box with its thermoformed insert.
A photo of the piece with the buyer’s name mentioned will be taken at packaging to prove its pristine condition at dispatch.
The shipping costs shown in the Catawiki listing are purely indicative and will be calculated only once the winning bid amount is known, including the best possible insurance coverage in case of damage. To this end, please, the buyer should not pay for their purchase immediately and await my instructions. Shipment is exclusively within the European Union, not even to the United Kingdom, which applies heavy import duties and presents a bureaucratic headache due to customs.
