This Lladro porcelain figurine, titled Thinking Boy Sitting on Tree Stump Reading Book, captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The piece features a young boy absorbed in his book, sitting on a tree stump, and is finished in Lladro's signature matte porcelain. A fine example of Spanish craftsmanship, it reflects the delicate detailing and timeless appeal of Lladro’s artistry. No. 4876 - Pequeno Pensador.

Approximate dimensions: 8 1/2" tall. In excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Made in Spain.

In general, matte Lladro figurines tend to be more expensive than their glazed counterparts. This is because they are rarer, as most matte pieces were retired in 1991 due to low sales, making them more sought after by collectors. Additionally, the matte finish is often seen as more labor-intensive to produce, which can contribute to its higher value. However, prices can vary depending on the specific piece, its condition, and the current market demand.

We appreciate both styles—how about you? Which do you prefer?
