This rarely found vintage, retired Lladro is called Boy Jewelry Dish. It is #4714 and was produced 1970-1978, sculpted by Salvador Furio. It is 7" high, 6-3/4" wide at the base. This piece is especially rare, because it is bisque or unglazed porcelain, which renders the colors softer than they appear in the more common glazed version. This Lladro was purchased in Spain in the early 1970's and brought back to the U.S., which may account for the rare bisque finish. The condition is excellent, no repairs and even the fingers are in pristine condition.

This relief molded jug in light green is 8-1/2" high and is known as Silenus or Bacchus. The handle is the same light green color as the body of the jug, although the photo makes the handle appear darker. It is marked on the bottom with an early Minton mark and dates to about 1831. Before glass and plastic containers were widely available to hold liquids, especially wine, such decorative stoneware pitchers were made in various sizes and colors. Even though these jugs had a utilitarian function, they were decorated like sculptures, and this jug is especially sculptural with its figures almost in three dimensions. The full figure images of Bacchus all around the jug reference the fact that the jug is meant to hold wine. Kathy Hughes describes the decoration in A Collector's Guide to Nineteenth-Century Jugs, Vol. I, p. 39, "[There is] a Silenus group of three in extremely high relief on each side. Grapevines adorn the green stoneware body and twine around the handle." This jug is in excellent condition and was obviously treasured throughout the almost 200 years of its life.
