Limited edition of 18 small porcelain statuettes with animal motif for 18th birthday

Sociable, sophisticated, playful and always alert, it's all Suricata!

The delicate figurine with animal motif by Antonín Tomášek expanded the Qubus portfolio at the turn of 2006 / 2007. The small decorative sculpture had two variants in the first collection, pure white glaze or bisque (without glaze) with a bright green stripe on the base.

Over time, these unique pieces have become part of important public and private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad.

This spring 2025, Suricata celebrates its 18th birthday in the Qubus brand. To mark the occasion, a limited collector's edition of 18 pieces has been created with two variants of the base colour: sky blue and/or pink.

The author of the Suricata porcelain statuette for Qubus produces it personally in his workshop in Prague.
