Lladro Ballerina Figurine

This is a Lladro porcelain figurine depicting a ballerina in a graceful, dancing pose. The figurine is crafted from glazed porcelain, presenting a smooth, lustrous finish. The color palette is subtle and elegant, featuring a pale, almost translucent white for the skin, and soft pastel shades for the attire. The ballerina wears a light blue strapless top, possibly a corset-style bodice, with delicate ruffle detailing along the top edge. Her flowing skirt is a pale peach or off-white color, draped artistically to convey movement, with one arm extended to gently hold a portion of the skirt, emphasizing the flow of the garment. The base of the figurine is a contrasting pale blue, providing stability and a gentle color anchor. The craftsmanship is typical of Lladro, known for its intricate detailing, delicate features, and expressive poses. The ballerina's face is finely sculpted with a serene expression, and her hair appears to be pulled back, possibly with a small decorative element that may be gold in color, though this is not entirely clear from the image. The condition appears to be excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glossy finish is intact, suggesting minimal wear. The overall aesthetic suggests a timeless elegance, characteristic of Lladro's collectible figurines and likely dates from the latter half of the 20th century.
