Lladro Figurine "Gala" (Model 01001490)

This is a tall, slender porcelain figurine from the Lladro 'Dazzled by the Sun' collection, titled 'Gala'. The piece depicts a glamorous woman in a long, flowing dress and an exceptionally wide-brimmed hat, characteristic of the Art Deco revival style popular in the late 1980s. The figurine is crafted from fine porcelain with a distinctive matte finish, moving away from Lladro's traditional high gloss. Its color palette features soft, muted earth tones consisting of greys, beiges, and subtle browns applied with a soft airbrushed gradient. Notable floral accents in a coral or pink hue are located at the neckline and along the hem of the dress, providing a delicate contrast to the monochromatic scheme. The craftsmanship is evident in the elongated, elegant proportions and the fine detail of the fingers and facial features. The item stands approximately 14 to 15 inches tall. While the underside is not visible to confirm the maker's mark, the silhouette and finish are definitive hallmark traits of Lladro artist Salvador Furió's work from 1986. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or repairs, though a close inspection for cracks in the delicate extremities like the fingers or hat brim would be necessary for a final appraisal.
