Lladró 5th Centenary Medallion by Salvador Furió
This Lladró 5th Centenary Medallion is a commemorative piece made of matte porcelain and presented on a dark-toned square wooden base. The composition is crafted in relief and offers two different views, one on each side.
The obverse features the profiles of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand V of Aragon, accompanied by their names. The reverse depicts three ships and the inscription "Centenario de América 1492-1992".
History, design, and decorative value
The Lladró 5th Centenary Medallion was designed by Salvador Furió and released in 1991. Consulted references identify the piece with the number 01015808, note its retirement in 1994, and place it within a limited edition of 5,000 units.
The combination of ivory-colored porcelain and reddish wood creates a sober contrast. The relief allows for the appreciation of crowns, facial features, sails, masts, and inscriptions, while the square format makes it easy to display on a shelf, a console, or inside a display cabinet.
This Lladró 5th Centenary Medallion may interest collectors of the brand, enthusiasts of Spanish porcelain, and those looking for a commemorative piece linked to 1992.
It should not be described as a unique work, as it is part of a limited run. The specific number corresponding to this unit remains to be confirmed.
The published photographs show slight surface marks on the wooden base. No obvious cracks or losses are visible on the porcelain, although the edges, the relief, and the joint with the wood should be physically inspected.

A piece with its own personality
A piece with its own personality
Due to its double-sided design, the Lladró 5th Centenary Medallion can be displayed by alternating between the portrait of the Catholic Monarchs and the maritime scene. This feature allows for variation in its presentation without changing the piece itself.
Salvador Furió's authorship, the date of issue, and its status as a limited edition increase its documentary interest for collectors, without implying a guarantee of economic appreciation.
