Featured in this lot is this beautiful, Lladro porcelain sculpture titled, "Fisher Boy" made in Spain in 1972. Lladró is a well-known Spanish firm that creates beautiful porcelain sculptures with delicate features, soft pastel tones, and romantic or melancholy themes. Juan, José, and Vicente Lladró, three brothers from the little town of Almàssera near Valencia, formed the company in 1953. The brothers began by manufacturing useful ceramics such as vases and plates, but quickly turned their focus to ornamental art pieces, drawing inspiration from classical forms and traditional European porcelain. By the 1960s, Lladró had created a unique sculptural style and a global reputation for craftsmanship and elegance. In 1969, the company developed its own porcelain plant in Tavernes Blanques, complete with a training school and design center. Over the decades, Lladró expanded its collections to include religious figures, romantic couples, children, animals, and fantasy-themed sculptures. Each piece is handmade and hand-painted, reflecting a strong commitment to high detail. This sculpture shows a young boy in his fishing attire getting ready for his fishing adventure. He is wearing a fishing creel on one side and once held a fishing pole but is not present with the sculpture. He has blonde hair and wears a light colored fishing hat and waders on his legs. It is marked on the bottom reading, "Llardo / Hand Made In Spain / 21 B-10F". It shows good condition overall with no wear or damage present. It measures 2 1/2" L x 3 1/8" W x 8 5/8" H and weighs 10 ounces.
