Here's A Limited Lladro Edition That's Worth Every Penny

I've often been asked if Lladro isn't just a bit too expensive to start as an investment in collectibles, and the answer is always a resounding no. Lladro has a wide range of quality porcelain figurines that start at a very low price point, - low for their intrinsic value, of course.

It is true, nevertheless, that the medium to higher end pieces start out with greater value, and that value continues to increase over time.

In fact, at present, the popularity of Lladro with both investors in collectibles and those who simply appreciate Lladro for its aesthetic beauty have caused the prices to skyrocket.

Lladro's Ganesha by Paul Rubio - Limited Edition

The pieces I am about to discuss with you are a part of a series of 4 beautiful porcelain figurines that were created by Paul Rubio, from 2007 to 2008, and released to the public as a Limited Edition series (3,000 pieces only) in 2009.

As a part of a Limited Edition series, this obviously means that no more will ever be made...therefore, their intrinsic value as a collectible is already guaranteed.

In the following series of 4, you will see that Paul Rubio, the sculptor who created them, was careful to render the deity with his traditional symbols: the gada (mace), the paasha (rope), and the broken tusk. Each piece was created by hand from the classic premium porcelain for which Lladro is famous (the recipe for which is a most carefully guarded secret).

Despite what some might see as a considerably high price, not only is this quite reasonable, but as I have explained, the value is already assured.

Lladro 2009 Veena Ganesha Limited Edition

This Lladro Ganesha Veena is playing a long flute called a bansuri, - which is an ancient musical instrument that was associated with cowherds and the pastoral tradition.

This particular figurine is intimately connected to the love story of Krishna and Radha.

Its dimensions are 3"x7.5"x9".






Lladro Dancing Ganesha Limited Edition

This piece, called Dancing Ganesha, features the elephant-headed god in a dancing pose with intricate ornamentation in a handsome palette.

This lovely, unique piece is the tallest of the four sculptures, at 10 3/4" high. As you can see, the attention to detail is as flawless and the porcelain finish.







Lladro Mirdangam Ganesha Limited Edition

This is the last of the series of 4 musical Ganeshas that were created by Rubio

As you can see in this figurine Lladro brings the Hindu god of knowledge and wisdom to life in this creation that depicts Lord Ganesha playing the mirdangam. Its dimensions are 9" x 7".








So, Why Are These Statues of Lord Ganesha Such a Great Bargain?

As I've explained, all four are part of the series of a Limited Edition of 3,000 pieces by Lladro.

At present, the few remaining ones can be bought, new, and in their own original box, with each piece including the Manufacturer's Certificate of Authenticity.

Each of these four pieces really is a great bargain, and a wonderful investment!
