Lladro Porcelain Figurine: Girl with Lamb

This is a vintage Lladro porcelain figurine depicting a young girl or shepherdess cradling a small white lamb. The item is characterized by the soft, muted pastel color palette iconic to the Spanish maker, including signature shades of pale blue in the girl's bodice, several tones of grey-brown for the hair and skirt, and a pristine white for the lamb. The figurine stands with a tall, slender silhouette, emphasizing the elegant elongated proportions common in Lladro designs from the mid-to-late 20th century. The construction consists of high-quality hard-paste porcelain with a smooth, glossy glaze finish. The girl’s facial features are delicately hand-painted with a serene expression, looking down at the lamb. Based on stylistic elements such as the hair styling and dress, this piece likely dates from the 1970s or 1980s. The craftsmanship displays exceptional smoothness in the floral-like transitions of the glaze. The condition is noted as good, appearing free of visible cracks, chips, or professional repairs. There is no significant crazing observed on the surface, which maintains a high reflective sheen. While the base's markings are not visible in this photo, the piece is consistent with authentic Lladro productions from Valencia, Spain.
