Vintage Lladro-Style Porcelain Figurine of a Water Carrier

This is a vintage glazed porcelain figurine depicting a young woman carrying a large ceramic water jug on her right shoulder. The piece is approximately 10 to 12 inches tall, featuring a slender, elongated aesthetic common in mid-to-late 20th-century decorative ceramics. The color palette is characterized by soft pastels, including a pale grey-green dress, a dark navy or black corset vest with white lacing details, and an apron featuring a floral sprig pattern in brown. Her facial features are delicately painted with minimalist eyes and lips. Notable construction details include the scalloped base decorated with green grass textures and gold-gilt decorative scrolls. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but high-quality decorative item, possibly originating from a Spanish or Italian workshop such as Tengra or Casades, imitating the famous Lladro style. The condition appears fair to good; while the glaze retains its sheen, there is visible dust in the crevices and potential minor wear to the gold gilding on the base. No major cracks or repairs are immediately visible, though the thin handle of the water jug is a common point for professional restoration. The style is romanticized pastoralism, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1990s.
