394. Lladro "Napoleon Planning Battle"

"Napoleon With Battle Plans", porcelain figure issued in 1985 and retired in 1995. Signed "Navarro", No.151" on verso and has blue Lladro hallmark including Daisa 1985. Measures apprx 14" H x 8" W.

Lladró started out as a small artisan workshop in the mid 1950s in Valencia, Spain. Its founding members are Juan, José and Vicente Lladró, three brothers born within a humble family. Throughout its history, Lladró has maintained an entirely hand-made process of manufacturing. The clay modeled by the sculptor becomes porcelain, and is later carefully painted before entering the kiln. This is where the fire miraculously transforms the raw piece into a figurine as fragile as it is eternal.
