Other Notes: More than fifty years ago, LladroAE first began making its classically inspired porcelain figures in Valencia, Spain and soon became innovators in porcelain design and technique. This set is a remake of the classic LladrU chess set, created in the 1980s. The inspiration of the pieces refers to the Middle Ages style, as recalling the real origins and start points of this game in the western world.

The pieces each in overall good condition with shelf wear, scattered minor scuffs, scratches, and inherent firing flaws commensurate with age and use. Felt applied to the underside of each piece. The wood case/board in overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
