Lladro Pretty Pickings Appraisal

Lladro Figurine "Pretty Pickings" (Linda Con Capazo), No. 05222

This item is a collectible porcelain figurine from the renowned Spanish manufacturer Lladro, titled 'Pretty Pickings' (or 'Linda Con Capazo' in Spanish), catalog number 05222. The image shows the original retail packaging box, which features an illustration of the figurine: a young girl wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, a light blue blouse, and a deep blue skirt with a subtle plaid pattern. She is artistically depicted carrying a large basket of delicate, handmade flowers. The figurine is crafted from fine glazed porcelain, characterized by the brand's signature soft pastel palette including muted blues, creams, and earthy tones. Designed by sculptor Jose Puche and issued around 1984, the piece stands approximately 7 inches tall. The craftsmanship is of high quality, specifically noted for the intricate ceramic flower petals which are notoriously fragile. The packaging shown appears to be in relatively stable condition with some minor shelf wear, visible retail stickers, and a clear barcode (737859052224). This specific model was retired in the late 1990s, making boxed examples desirable for collectors. No visible damage is apparent to the packaging, though the figurine inside would need inspection for common chips on the delicate floral elements to determine final value.
