Lladro Figurine 'Boy with Bear'

This exquisite item is a Lladro porcelain figurine, specifically depicting a young boy holding a teddy bear. The figurine is crafted from fine porcelain with a distinctive matte finish characteristic of many Lladro pieces, though the boy's hair appears to have a slightly glossier sheen, adding a subtle contrast. The color palette is understated, dominated by soft, cool tones of white, pale blue-gray, and a light tan for the bear. The boy is rendered standing, dressed in what appears to be a nightgown or a long, flowing garment, extending to his feet and covering his arms. His head is gently bowed, suggesting a tender moment or perhaps a sleepy demeanor. His hair is sculpted with a smooth, rounded shape that covers his ears. He holds the small teddy bear in front of him with both hands, positioned at waist height, and the bear's legs are slightly dangling. The bear itself is a classic design, with small, defined limbs, a rounded head, and what appear to be tiny sculpted features for its eyes and nose. The base of the figurine is integrated into the boy's gown, with a slight indentation or sculpted line suggesting the hem of the garment and the presence of subtle blue shoes peeking out from beneath. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth lines, delicate modeling of the figures, and the overall serene expression. No discernible damage such as chips, cracks, or repairs are visible from the provided image, indicating a well-preserved condition. The figurine likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century, a popular period for Lladro productions. The quality of the porcelain and the artistic execution are typical of the Lladro brand, known for its high-quality collectible ceramics.
