A collection of Spanish porcelain figurines and wall plaques, all finished in a high-gloss glaze. The group includes a standing clown figurine depicted in a melancholic pose, wearing a blue hat, tan vest with red detailing, and blue-and-white patterned trousers, holding a wooden-style prop. Also included is a large figurine of a bird with an elongated neck, a trio of smaller ducklings in various seated and standing poses, and a pair of winged cherub head wall plaques. One cherub features blue-tinted hair while the other is finished in tan and white tones.
The clown figurine bears a brown printed mark on the underside of the base reading THE OTHER PORCELAIN, CASADES S.A., MADE IN SPAIN within a rectangular border. The large bird figurine features a blue printed mark consisting of a stylised flower above the name LLADRO and MADE IN SPAIN, accompanied by incised numbers 4 and 5. One duckling bears a blue printed mark with a stylised flower, the text LLADRO HAND MADE IN SPAIN, a copyright date of 1987 for DAISA, and a separate brown printed mark reading NAO. One cherub plaque is marked to the reverse with a blue printed stylised flower above the name LLADRO and MADE IN SPAIN.
Condition report:
The collection appears in good overall condition. The standing clown shows some surface dust and minor grime to the unglazed underside of the base (photo 5). The large bird figurine exhibits some shelf-wear staining and grime to the unglazed foot rim (photo 4). One cherub plaque appears to have a small chip or manufacturing imperfection on the upper tip of one wing (photo 2). The remaining ducklings and the second cherub plaque show no visible faults other than minor shelf wear to the bases.
