The Rex Valencia Porcelain Figurine - Girl With Stick is a delicate and intriguing piece, crafted with soft pastel glazes reminiscent of classic Lladro designs. Standing gracefully, the young girl holds an object in her hands - possibly a scroll or a slender stick. After close examination under high magnification, we found no signs of breakage, suggesting that this may have been an intentional design choice or a factory second that still made its way to market. If so, that only adds to its charm and collectibility.

It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. It stands tall at 11 1/2 inches.

Rex Valencia was one of several Spanish porcelain makers that took inspiration from Lladro, adopting similar color palettes, sculpting styles, and glazing techniques. While they never reached Lladro’s global prominence, their work remains highly sought after by collectors who appreciate their craftsmanship and affordability.

Curious about the mystery of the object in her hand? So are we. The ambiguity only enhances the figurine’s uniqueness, making it a conversation starter in any collection.

It is a high-quality porcelain figurine with well-formed hands and distinct fingers. It has a graceful, natural pose that reflects attention to realism and artistry. If you’re curious why we mention the details of her hands, sculpting hands (and bare feet) is one of the most challenging aspects due to their delicate structure and intricate details.

Fingers are thin and fragile, making them prone to breakage during molding, drying, and firing. Additionally, porcelain shrinks when exposed to high temperatures, which can cause warping or cracking if not carefully crafted. High-quality figurines feature well-defined fingers, natural hand poses, and smooth finishes, reflecting the skill and precision of the artist. In contrast, lower-quality pieces often have simplified or fused fingers to reduce production difficulty. The level of detail in the hands is a key indicator of a figurine’s overall craftsmanship and value.
