Displaying a porcelain sculpture at the right height is crucial to showcasing its beauty and craftsmanship. The ideal height depends on several factors, including the sculpture's size, the viewer's eye level, and the surrounding environment.
For smaller sculptures (under 12 inches), place them at eye level or slightly below (around 48-52 inches from the floor) to create an intimate viewing experience. Medium-sized pieces (12-24 inches) work well at standard gallery height (57-60 inches), allowing viewers to appreciate details without straining. Larger sculptures may need a lower placement to maintain balance and prevent visual overwhelm.
Consider the viewing distance too—sculptures in narrow spaces should be slightly lower, while those in open areas can be higher. Lighting and pedestal design also play a role; a tilted base might require adjusted height for optimal visibility. Always test different positions and observe how light interacts with the porcelain's glaze at various angles before finalizing the display.
Remember: The goal is to create a natural sightline where the viewer's gaze meets the sculpture's focal point effortlessly, enhancing both the artwork and the space it inhabits.
