Lladro Figurine "The Magician" (5138)

This is a vintage porcelain figurine by the renowned Spanish manufacturer Lladro, titled "The Magician" (item number 5138), originally designed by Salvador Furió in 1982 and retired in 2007. The sculpture features a standing clown character dressed in whimsical formal attire, including a long grey overcoat, a pink necktie, tan trousers, and oversized clown shoes. He wears a pale blue top hat over curly orange hair and white facial makeup with delicate painted details. A significant feature is the white rabbit perched on his right arm, a classic symbol of stage magic. The piece is crafted from high-quality hard-paste porcelain with the signature Lladro glossy finish. Its color palette consists of muted pastels—soft greys, pinks, and tans—typical of the mid-to-late 20th-century Lladro aesthetic. Standing approximately 9.5 inches tall, the craftsmanship is evident in the expressive facial features and the fluid drapery of the clothing. Based on the provided image, the item appears to be in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or restorations, maintaining a bright and clean surface. The base is likely stamped with the blue Lladro tulip logo and 'Handmade in Spain' mark, signifying its authenticity and manufacture period between the late 1980s and early 2000s.
