Unlike many porcelain manufacturers that focused on tableware, Lladró built its reputation almost entirely on sculptural porcelain, depicting graceful figures, animals and scenes of everyday life.
'Tennis Player Boy' was discontinued in 1980, making this model especially sought after by collectors.
