History: This porcelain figurine is a seated female clown or Pierrette, crafted by Lladro in Spain. The figurine displays the delicate, pastel-hued palette typical of Lladro works from the 1980s, characterized by soft glazes and graceful postures. The figure's costume—with pointed hat, puffed sleeves, and a voluminous skirt—is evocative of theatrical Commedia dell'arte traditions, interpreted through Lladro's signature romanticized lens.
 
 
Markings on the base include the early blue tulip logo and partial embossed numbers, indicating production by Lladro and likely dating to the early-to-mid 1980s. However, the value is notably impacted by the visible damage: the extended hand shows breakage and a poorly executed repair, with missing and reattached fingers.
 
 
Despite the wear, the piece remains identifiable and would appeal to collectors of vintage Lladro with restoration skills or for decorative purposes.
 
Flaws: Broken hand , Condition Note: Repaired damage to hand significantly affects collector value. Intact examples of similar Lladro figurines often command $180–$240.
