This elegant porcelain figurine, titled Dreams of a Summer Past (model 01006401), is a rare event-exclusive piece released by Lladro in 1997. Sculpted by the artist Francisco Polope, the sculpture portrays a young woman in a contemplative pose, her hair adorned with delicate, hand-modeled flowers and a small bird perched gently on her shoulder. She is dressed in a flowing, high-waisted gown with soft blue and cream accents, embodying a sense of nostalgic grace. Finished in Lladro’s signature high-gloss glaze, the piece showcases the brand's mastery of fine floral detail and fluid sculptural form. As an event piece issued and retired within the same year, this figurine is a highly collectible item for those seeking limited-run Spanish porcelain.
