In general, matte Lladro figurines tend to be more expensive than their glazed counterparts (https://worldclassantiques.com/Marketplace/Listing/Details/585754/Lladro-Porcelain-Figurine-Girl-With-Slice-of-Cake-5429-1986). This is because they are rarer, as most matte pieces were retired in 1991 due to low sales, making them more sought after by collectors. Additionally, the matte finish is often seen as more labor-intensive to produce, which can contribute to its higher value. However, prices can vary depending on the specific piece, its condition, and the current market demand.

We appreciate both styles—how about you? Which do you prefer?
