Vintage Lladro YOUNG KING MELCHIOR Christmas Nativity Figurine #4675
Blue Bellflower Lladro Backstamp
No Box
This figurine appears to be a retired Lladró piece, often referred to as the \"Boy King\" or \"Kneeling King\" from a children’s Nativity series. Based on the markings and visual details, here are the specifics:
Design: It features the signature Lladró pastel palette in a glossy finish. The figure depicts a young boy in a long robe, wearing a crown, and holding a small gift box with a bow.
Product Details
Identification: While \"4518\" appears on the base, it is likely a production or mold number rather than the official Lladró reference number (the official #4518 actually refers to a \"Girl Student\"). This specific figure is part of the Children’s Nativity set and is commonly identified as King Melchior (the boy kneeling with a crown and gift).
Official Catalog Number: Based on the profile and the \"Children\'s Nativity\" series, this is officially Lladró #4675, titled \"King Melchior\" (or Rey Baltasar in some catalogs). It was designed by Juan García and originally issued in 1969.
Production Era: The blue backstamp confirms it was produced between 1977 and 1984. The incised \"22\" and the handwritten \"2\" on the base are specific artisan marks used for quality tracking during that window.
Status: This piece was officially retired in 2001, which contributes to its collectibility as it is no longer in production.
Markings: The blue backstamp featuring the bellflower and \"Lladró Handmade in Spain\" indicates this piece was produced roughly between 1977 and 1984. This period is noted by the specific typeface and the presence of the word \"Handmade.\"
