About Return To La Mancha

Return To La Mancha
Year Retired: 2001 Elite Limited Edition (500)
Base included. The profoundly disheartened expression worn by Don Quixote, the Knight of the Sad Countenance, is really exceptionally moving in this portrayal. His failures, disasters and defeats are written across his face, in his dishevelled garb, and even in the sad, surrendered angle of his hand. His faithful squire, Sancho Panza, joins his master on the homeward trail, absorbed in his own thoughts. The whole scene, created by Lladró artists faithful to Cervantes' classic text, conveys a genuinely melancholic feeling.

Lladro

View all work by Lladro
Lladro was founded in 1953 when Juan, Jose, and Vicente, three brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great artistic talent, formed a small family company in the Valencian village of Almacera, Spain. Since then, Lladro has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying continual growth. The company management has remained in the hands of the Lladro family, the owners of the firm, since its inception. The creative team started out by adapting styles from past eras, but it was not long before certain characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was to become the unique Lladro style.
