: Hi there and welcome. A tried and true resource for Lladro secondary market replacement values for insurance purposes is Janet's A Retired Collection.com

: A link to Sailing the Seas is below. As far as cleaning, these votive cups take well to a run in the dishwasher. You don't want to make that a habit, warm soapy water should suffice. For really tough stains on the white matte surface I've been using these Mr. Clean magic sponges, I don't know what's in them but they work. I wonder if ten years from now we won't find it's radioactive!

I've always had good luck cleaning dirty Lladro finds with good ol' Q-Tips, warm water, and a tiny bit of dish detergent (something gentle like Ivory works wonderfully). I would like to emphasize the word TINY because a little will go a long way. For routine dusting or getting in the tiny nooks, I use a can of air (judiciously and gently!) from Staples as I live in permanent fear of snapping a fragile petal or leaf.
