Lladro Girl with Bird and Flowers Appraisal
Category: Porcelain Figurine
Description
This is a Lladro porcelain figurine depicting a young girl holding a small bird in her left hand and a bouquet of flowers in her right. The girl is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt under pink overalls and has blonde hair styled in pigtails. She is standing on a circular base that is light green in color and appears to be surrounded by small pink and green floral elements, possibly representing a garden setting. A small gray watering can is positioned to the right of her feet on the base. The figurine exhibits the characteristic smooth, matte finish and soft pastel color palette commonly associated with Lladro creations. The detail work on the flowers and the girl's features, particularly her expression and the individual strands of hair, suggests quality craftsmanship. From the visible details, the figurine appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs, though a thorough in-hand inspection would be necessary to confirm the absence of subtle condition issues or damage. This style is indicative of Lladro's figural work, likely dating from the late 20th century.
Appraisal Report
Based on my visual examination of the provided image, this Lladro porcelain figurine depicting a girl with a bird and flowers appears to be in good overall condition. The surface exhibits the typical matte finish, and the detail work on the hands, face, flowers, and watering can seems consistent with Lladro craftsmanship. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or repairs in the image. Authentication to a definitive level based solely on images is not possible; a physical inspection would be necessary to examine the base for the Lladro mark, check for any subtle damage not apparent in the photo, and assess the quality of the porcelain itself. Provenance documentation from the owner, if available, could further aid in authenticating the piece. Market conditions for Lladro figures are generally stable, with specific values varying by model, condition, and retired status. This particular subject matter of a child with animals and flowers is popular. Comparables for similar Lladro figurines of children from the late 20th century in good condition typically range in value. Factors impacting value include the specific model number (which cannot be determined from the image), desirability of the pose and color scheme, condition, and the presence of the original box. Assuming this is an authentic Lladro in the described condition, its market value falls within a modest range for this type of figurine. Further verification through in-hand inspection, base mark identification, and potential documentation is recommended for full authentication and a more precise valuation.
