High Porcelain Masterpiece | A Tribute to the First Lladró Gift to the Vatican
Experience the timeless beauty and spiritual symbolism of the Three Wise Men with this exceptional Lladró High Porcelain set featuring King Melchior, King Gaspar, and King Balthasar. Crafted as part of Lladró’s most prestigious artistic category—High Porcelain—this limited edition sculpture set captures the reverence, elegance, and rich tradition of the Magi who followed the guiding star to deliver their sacred gifts.
Originally introduced in 1969 and reimagined in this elevated edition, these kings were part of a historic moment: presented by the Lladró brothers—Juan, José, and Vicente—as a personal gift to Pope Paul VI during their visit to the Vatican. In a gesture of universal symbolism, the Pope later gifted one king to each Apollo 11 astronaut, connecting the Nativity journey with mankind’s first voyage to the moon.
This sculpture set is more than porcelain—it's a legacy of faith, exploration, and humanity’s search for light and meaning. Richly detailed and adorned with refined, radiant colors, the three kings exude grace and divine purpose.
