Lladró "Car in Trouble" Limited Edition Porcelain Sculpture
SKU 01001375

Step back into a charming era of early motoring with "Car in Trouble," a monumental Limited Edition masterpiece from the world-renowned Lladró studios in Valencia, Spain. This legendary sculpture captures a whimsical, cinematic moment of roadside drama with the exquisite detail and soft pastel palette that defines the Lladró heritage.

A Rare Vintage Investment: Canceled in 1987

As a retired Limited Edition piece that has been out of production for nearly four decades, "Car in Trouble" is a crown jewel for serious porcelain collectors. Finding this sculpture in pristine condition is increasingly rare, as it represents the peak of Lladró’s ambitious large-scale storytelling. This isn't just a figurine; it is a historical artifact of fine ceramic artistry.

Masterful Storytelling in Porcelain

The sculpture depicts a vintage motorcar and its stylish passengers facing a minor mechanical "catastrophe." Every figure is a study in character—from the frustrated driver peering under the hood to the elegant passengers waiting with a mix of patience and dismay. The complexity of the vehicle’s design, combined with the delicate floral accents and expressive porcelain faces, showcases the incredible "Savoir-Faire" of the Lladró brothers' workshop.

Monumental Scale and Presence

Standing at an impressive 16.5 inches tall and spanning a wide, cinematic base, this sculpture commands the room. The matte and glazed finishes play against one another to create a sense of depth and realism, making it a spectacular focal point for a library, a grand mantle, or a dedicated collector’s gallery.

Authentic Spanish Artistry

Each "Car in Trouble" sculpture was handcrafted and hand-painted in Spain. It serves as a timeless tribute to the spirit of early 20th-century adventure and the enduring beauty of handmade porcelain. For those who appreciate the intersection of classic automobiles and fine art, this is an indispensable acquisition.
