: Dear Jerry,

: I'm sorry to report that there is no catalog or record kept that chronicles the meanings of the disparate decorators and repairers marks that you find on your figure.  These include the number 43, the F-15 F (other than it probably refers to February 15), the four circles touching or the letter C that you find on your figure.  To explain, when artists at Lladro work on a figure they mark it during different phases of production.  Some manufactories, most famously Sevres, kept meticulous records of repairers, decorators, painters and gilders marks, Lladro does not.  At best, the blue Lladro logo with Lladro (without the accent on the O) would generally date its production in the time-frame of 1973-1974 as this figure is cataloged as produced from 1973-1992.
