Christmas Bell |
1980 |
$60 |
$45-60 |
A school-bell-style porcelain bell with long handle
and unknown embossed Christmas scene. I haven't actually seen a picture
of this item to describe the scene, but the style of the bell would
presumably be similar to #705, pictured below. These Zaphir
bells were expensive at retail, and it's difficult to say how much
of their value will be retained given the fairly modest
popularity of bells among Lladró brand collectors, the inclusion of
a specific year (1980) on the face of the bell, and the fact that
Zaphir bells are too seldom seen on the market to generate much demand. |

Mother's Day Bell |
1981 |
$60 |
$45-$60 |
School-bell style white porcelain bell with long handle,
colored porcelain bow at base of handle, and embossed and painted relief scene
of bust of mother holding small child. Also dated 1980 on surface of bell.
I have actually seen a picture of this item, but unfortunately, the item
was damaged, with the damage clearly visible in the picture, so I wasn't able
to include it here. Style is very similar to #705 pictured below.

Zaphir Name Plaque |
unknown |
unknown |
$25 |
This appears to have been a Zaphir dealer display plaque, whose use
would have been parallel to that of the display signs found in the other
Lladró brands. Zaphir had no logo, so the pyramidal plaque appears
rather plain. Chirivella was the town where the Zaphir factory was located,
Valencia the province, and España, of course, the country. |
